Real Parties in Interest’s Opposition to Petitioners … Petition
As you might have noticed, the Real Parties in Interest are taking the lead in arguing this case. The RPIs are the developers that cut a deal with the city. One of the conditions of the deal they cut was that the developers had to pay for lawyers to defend the City Of Lafayette in case the City got sued. Since the RPIs were going to pay for the city’s defense anyway, they are just using their own lawyers to argue the case.
