Jury Returns Mixed Bag Verdict in Trial Over Construction of North Oak Cliff Apartments 

In a case where jurors considered dueling claims for breach of contract between the owner of an Oak Cliff apartment complex and the contractor that built it, they determined both sides breached, but that Zang Holdings breached first. 

On Monday night, a Dallas jury that had deliberated for nearly two days found that Integrity Commercial Group breached the contract it entered into with Zang Holdings to construct Zang Flats, and that the contractor had “intentionally, knowingly, or with intent to defraud” misapplied certain funds, too. In the 10-2 mixed-bag verdict, jurors awarded Integrity $1.4 million in damages for Zang’s breach, and awarded Zang about $353,000 in damages for Integrity’s misapplication of trust funds.
