The article focuses on the case of Christo Bardis versus the Capitol Racing concerning the settlement agreement on impact fees in California. Bardis operates harness racing at the Los Alamitos Race Course with his partner Lloyd Arnold. The conflict started when Bardis and Arnold announced their intention to retire from operating harness racing which was met by angry reaction from the racing community accusing them of violating antitrust laws. Bardis sued Capitol Racing who also conducts harness racing to settle agreement regarding impact fees. Capitol filed a cross complaint but later dismissed it. Bardis again filed another action and this time Capitol filed a motion but was denied by the trial court. Capitol filed a motion to strike which was affirmed. Bardis was made to recover costs.
