A Santa Clara County judge ruled against former Milpitas City Manager Steve McHarris in a wrongful termination lawsuit alleging contract violations by the city. McHarris, who sought damages, faced a ruling that allows the city to pursue repayment of legal fees associated with the case. Despite the legal setback, McHarris's lawyer indicated intentions to appeal the decision, arguing that the judge's ruling was incorrect. The city hopes for closure and is preparing to move forward with motions related to legal costs incurred during the litigation.
"After years of litigation, the City is hopeful that Mr. McHarris can move forward, as the City has done, and we wish Mr. McHarris the best."
"We believe the judge is wrong in her ruling," Jaffe said.
"The judgment allows the city to seek repayment of its legal fees and other costs from McHarris."
