He was sentenced to compensation from individual plaintiff lawyers fees this case, would win common, not what the big deal. But it allows us to see a little care for others the concept of Croesus, a firm does not perform the "history" the popular concept "spoilers", a deliberately plan to change people the world will change our world a firm and indomitable, one in the market "unforgiven" refuse to be cowed or submit nature for the rich but. At the same time, also let us see the local government to finance, how to bow regardless of "history" and the principle of politicians......

Why Jobs was sentenced to compensate the plaintiff lawyers fees? (Author: Literature city - America lawyer)

In 1984, only 29 years old, but worth over $100000000 of Apple's chief executive, Steve Jobs, bought is located in the Silicon Valley of California Woodside, covers an area of 6 acres house: Jackling House

 
Woodside is recognized as the most wealthy town, elites to choose this. The famous: Oracle Larry Ellison (building code for the database and Oracle USA first pot of gold digging, and the company was renamed Oracle); Intel founder Gorden Moore (founder of Moore law); venture Godfather John Doerr (power invested in Google, Youtube, Amazon and other well-known high-tech companies)

As the example of Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture, Jackling House was founded in 1926, is a famous designer George Washington Smith was famous for global America copper tycoon Daniel C. Jackling and devotion to build

Because of the successful development of the extraction process of copper from ore and created an open-pit mine, Daniel Jackling is called the mining sector. Henry Ford back, house in the magnificent pipe organ chamber was the dream of countless musicians performing stage. house surrounded by trees, tree lined, house rich multicolored decorations, leaf flowers bloom, beautiful scenery, as now Apple unlimited scenery, countless fans, Richard Nixon President Nixon and President Clinton had also had its guest

However, Jackling House is the iron gate rusty, roof, wall collapse, overgrown with weeds, bougainvillea blooms, can only be used to describe the dilapidated withered. (the last note: man of men, are unable to withstand years of dust baptism, known as the repaired Buddha old Joe that also is not. His teacher is not responsible for, out of such a disciple, sad!)

As celebrities have left their mark on love in this world, far newspaper tycoon William Hearst construction have no equal in this world the Hearst Castle, near Bill Gates spent money, time to build in Seattle for 7 years in one hundred and fifty million Lake Palace, founder Oracle Larry Ellison ho hit covers an area of up to $two hundred million, including a 24 acre a 2.3 acre artificial lake with the Japanese imperial garden style Ellison village, Google Larry Page at the $16000000 price for 3 neighbors quickly severance, four for one, to build their own green tech Mansion

Steve Jobs is no exception. From the beginning of 2001, Jobs told Woodside, he plans to tear down the 30 room, 14 bedrooms and 13.5 Restroom Jackling House. As the iPods size and the appearance of the year a little and elegant, Jobs artistic aesthetics: "the smaller and sleeker, the better". He plans on the 6 acres of land on the reconstruction of one of only five room refined cabin

In 2004 December, Woodside approved Steve Jobs reconstruction request. However, the Jobs is very depressed, the house owner Clotilde Luce before they had to and he could not go over it

Clotilde Luce family had Jackling House in twentieth Century 60 years, herself in the 60's to the early 70's to live in this house. In order to prevent the Jobs to remove the large room, rich leisure Luce set up a special cultural heritage protection group " Uphold Our Heritage" (preserve our cultural heritage), and self styled president, joined the same leisure Jackling grandniece of Virginia Andersen, Jobs and Woodside, to the San Francisco court. Hard to better tomorrow, only want to change the world and live Jobs, into a look in him a little can be changed easily in the day reserved historic house, and litigation Boring Super waste of life

Court documents show, Lucy accused Jobs ignored Jackling House's historical significance and artistic value, architect Thalia Lubin also jumped, Jobs treat Jackling House is "super unfair" and "Timothy LeCain Daniel Jackling, author Dr. on contemporary American contribution" a Book wrote: "I believe a lot of evidence that Jackling in many aspects of contemporary America contribution and Henry Ford as major...., Jobs will suggest that removed Henry Ford live? Ironically, Jobs fortune depends on the machine by copper wire to conduction current..., so in this sense, Jobs whole career on is completely Jackling innovation "
 
However, Jobs has repeatedly emphasized in court, he bought this house like here because of the natural environment, he always want to dismantle the house. Jobs commented on Jackling: "he is very rich, but unfortunately his taste is too low." "I think this house " too bad "; I studied architecture, but have never heard of George Washington Smith". When Lucy pointed out that Smith not only was a wealthy stockbroker, because he left a deep impression on his rich friends in the design of southern Spain's housing, they have invited him to design houses for myself. Smith Montecito Casa del Herrero in private houses, which is now a museum, and is considered the model of. Jobs is still not the most representative of the Spanish colonial architecture style American face, said "there was an accident." And pointed out that the old house, across the wood structure of 3/4 century has worn out and go from bad to worse, is facing collapse, without reservation value. (Note: in a year, you iPhone what a reserved meaning?

Representatives of the two parties lawyers from Jackling House 's historical significance and artistic value of work for each master's defense is a mining, toss. The court in the final Jobs to no evidence to prove that in addition to tear down the house had no other feasible plan and repair the house than to build a new house down to high cost on the grounds, to Lucy win

Jobs of course not, the court before the ink is dry, he immediately appealed to the court of appeals, and re attach the reconstruction and maintenance of the housing budget detail: maintenance will cost $13300000, reconstruction of only about $8200000

In February 8, 2007, Jobs suffered another blow, the appeals court upheld the decision of the court of. pointed out Jobs the basic calculation of new budget mistakes, for example, will calculate the reconstruction when the floor cost $2 per foot, but will maintain the floor cost $4 per length calculation. In the face of such a low-level errors, Jobs was crying without tears. Probably because he thought NASA scientists in 1999, because the conversion and metric errors, which led to the 125 million value test satellite off track and unable to recover the fact, he would give to his defense team and for... thought. (Note: the guests laugh about. Apple computer, basic calculation are not clear.)

So far, Lucy in the court of first instance and the court of appeals are victory, house demolition plan of Jobs appears to be more and more. die hopeless suspension can be Jobs is Jobs. although have suffered repeated defeats, but no wind up, put my hands up and surrender. In many people's surprise, Jobs and also the first time to the California supreme court appeal(this is the persistent!)

In April 25, 2007, should be a relatively dark Jobs day in life, the California Supreme Court rejected Jobs's hearing request, the court of first instance verdict became the final. follows, trial court ordered Jobs to pay Lucy spent for lawyers fees totaling $403548. The ruling Jobs mood one disaster after another, --Although Jobs declares to the world in 1996 American accept NBC interview: "I'm worth at the age of 23 is one million, 24 of the ten million, at the age of 25 have more than one hundred million, the money for me, it is not so important, everything and I do not for the money." that a mere 400000 of great wealth Jobs is completely a drop in the bucket, but death did not recognize Jobs deeply court too unfair, refused to pay for the 400000, and immediately on the lawyer's fee decision a filed an appeal to the court of appeal

In November 12, 2008, the Jobs is not a sunny day, the court of appeal upheld the legal fee made the decision, the Jobs must pay the Lucy fee and plus interestFor 8 years, and cost of the marathon lawsuit, finally to lose Jobs and drop the curtainThe mood of.Jobs one can imagine

However, Lucy good mood does not last too long.Jobs to ordinary people to imagine the speed up the mood, paid (note the guest * probably more than a compensation of 500000) hired two economists and architect, to detail. Reconstruction and maintenance cost difference, submit the demolition of the old the real application to the Woodside City Hall

In May 14, 2009, Woodside the Jobs application again held hearings, in meeting the Lucy still insists that the house is one of California's architectural masterpieces, and accused Jobs of not doing our best for the house to buy down to the people. Her idea was the Jobs's counsel denied. He stressed that Jobs had tried to, "I to the house, has to deal with more than a hundred people, and they are strange and eccentric ideas and suggestions, including the house into a monastery." although mayor Woodside against the proposal, but the City Council is still more than six to one. Voting results the allowed Jobs demolition of houses in the application

This time, let Lucy realize what is depressed. when the media asked whether Lucy is planning to take further legal action, Lucy replied: "we win the lawsuit already, want Woodside to abide by the law."It seems, though tormented, Jobs or in the case of the last laugh.

People thought, see the iPod style Jobs House days should not be too long in the city of Woodside, but the unexpected, as Jobs died suddenly, don't know to will Jobs's family to complete his last wish: to overthrow the old Jackling house, to build a new Jobs House? We don't know: 100 years later, if there will be what people have to tear down Jobs House and appeal to the court?
