FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF

22

(By All Plaintiffs Against All Defendants)

23

Summacy Of The Action

24 25 26

1. This is an action to require that the Regents of the University of California honor their contractual obligation to preserve the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden. 2. The Hannah Carter Japanese Garden is a unique, culturally and historically

27

significant hillside garden in Bel Air that covers over one acre. The garden was designed in

28

1959 by a world-renowned Japanese landscape architect named Nagao Sakurai. Sakurai was

Complaint


1

Chief Gardener at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo for 20 years, and was selected by the Japanese

2

Government to design the Japanese Exhibit at the 1939 Golden Gate and New York

3

International Expositions. The Hannah Carter Japanese Garden was built over the course of two

4

years beginning in 1959, and is modeled on the gardens of Kyoto. It is recognized as one ofthe

5

finest examples of Japanese gardens in North America. Many structures in the garden,

6

including the main gate, the garden house, bridges and a shrine, were built in Japan and

7

reassembled here. The garden includes antique stone carvings, water basins, lanterns and a five-

8

tiered pagoda. The following illustration shows the layout of the garden, including the paths,

9

ponds, bridges, the pagoda, waterfall and other structures and sculptures:

10 1l 12 13 14 15 16 17

18 19 20 21 22 23 24

25 26 27

3. The Regents acquired the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden and other valuable

28

consideration from Edward and Hannah Carter pursuant to a written contract, which consists of

2 Complaint


an original agreement and two amendments. The Regents promised, in that contract, to 2 3

maintain the gardenforever. 4. Now that the Carters have passed away, however, the Regents have decided to

4

ignore their contractual obligations. The Regents recently put the garden up for sale, and have

5

done so without insisting that prospective purchasers maintain the property as a garden.

6

Moreover, the Regents have stripped the pagoda and certain statues and other valuable items

7

from the garden that lend to its distinctive character as a Japanese garden.

8 9

5. The Regents have taken this action knowing full well that the Carters would never have agreed to let the Regents destroy or sell the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden. On January

10

6, 2006 -- after Mr. Carter had passed away but before Mrs. Carter passed away --John

11

Sandbrook, of the Office of the Deans at U.C.L.A., prepared a memorandum and notebook for

12

Sam Moriboto, the Vice Chancellor of Business and Administrative Services at U.C.L.A.,

13

explaining the history of the contract, including the two amendments thereto. Sandbrook stated

14

that he personally had "handled the discussions with Mr. Carter regarding the 1982 First

15

Amendment," and that "The Regents agreed to name the Japanese Gardens as the Hannah

16

Carter Japanese Gardens and to retain and maintain the Gardens in perpetuity." Vice

17

Chancellor Moriboto responded to the memorandum with an email stating, inter alia, the

18

following:

19

John, I have now read the notebook you prepared. It appears that the amendment

20

requires us to maintain the Gardens in perpetuity ....

* * *

21 22

[I]t appears that Mrs. Carter has (or at least had) a special interest in the

23

Gardens. As such, it would seem that asking her to work with us on changing

24

the amendment does not seem likely.

25

6. Knowing that Mrs. Carter was not likely to agree to change the terms of the parties'

26

contract, the Regents instead decided to wait for her to die. And now that she herself can no

27

longer personally enforce the parties' contract, the Regents are breaking the written promises

28

they made to Mrs. Carter and her husband to maintain this unique landmark in perpetuity, the 3

Complaint


promises that made it possible for the Regents to acquire the property in the first place. 2

7. The plaintiffs, who are Hannah Carter's heirs and successors-in-interest under the

3

amended contract, accordingly seek to enforce the Regents' written promise to preserve the

4

Hannah Carter Japanese Garden. Plaintiffs seek, inter alia, a judicial declaration that the

5

Regents must maintain the garden forever, just as the Regents promised they would, and a

6

permanent injunction to prevent the Regents from destroying or selling the garden without

7

conditions that guarantee its preservation.

8

9

Jurisdiction And Venue 8. This Court has jurisdiction over this dispute, and venue lies in this district, because

10

the land in issue is located at 626 Siena Way, Los Angeles, California, 90077 and 10619

11

Bellagio Road, Los Angeles, California, 90077; this is a dispute regarding the Regents' duties to

12

maintain that property; and the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000.

13

Parties

14

9. Plaintiff James E. Caldwell, Jr. is an individual who resides in Woodside, California.

15

He is also a Trustee ofthe Hannah Locke Carter Trust, and is prosecuting this action both as an

16

individual and as a trustee. He is also the assignee of the rights ofhis sister, Julie Tave, under

17

the contract in issue.

18

10. Plaintiff Hannah C. Sowerwine is an individual who resides in Menlo Park,

19

California. She is also a Trustee ofthe Hannah Locke Carter Trust, and is prosecuting this

20

action both as an individual and as a trustee.

21

11. Plaintiff Anne Caldwell is an individual who resides in Eugene, Oregon.

22

12. Plaintiff Jonathan A. Caldwell is an individual who resides in Stratham, New

23 24 25 26

Hampshire. 13. The Defendant Regents of the University of California is a corporation organized under the Constitution of the California. 14. Defendant Does 1-50 are fictitious defendants named pursuant to Code of Civil

27

Procedureยง 474. Plaintiffs will amend the complaint to allege the Doe defendants' actual

28

names and involvement in the dispute promptly after learning same. Plaintiffs are informed and 4

Complaint


believe, and on that basis allege, that the Doe defendants include people who have made an 2

offer to buy all or some of the real property in issue in this dispute.

3 4

Contract

15. The plaintiffs are the successors-in-interest to Hannah Locke Carter ("Mrs. Carter")

5

with respect to the contract at issue here. Mrs. Carter, as noted above, has passed away. As a

6

result of her will, her trust and an assignment, her contractual rights now belong to the

7

plaintiffs, the children of Mrs. Carter.

8 9

16. The contract in issue ("the Amended Contract") consists of an original contract and two amendments thereto. The original contract was dated December 18, 1964, and was

10

between the Regents and Mrs. Carter's husband. (A copy is attached hereto as Exhibit A.) The

II

first amendment was dated June 17, 1982, and was signed by the Regents and Mr. Carter. (A

12

copy is attached hereto as Exhibit B.) The second amendment was dated Apri130, 1999, after

13

Mr. Carter passed away, and was signed by the Regents, by Mrs. Carter, and by the late Donn

14

B. Miller, as the executor of Mr. Carter's estate. (A copy is attached hereto as Exhibit C.)

15

17. The Amended Contract sets forth the parties' agreement concerning the ownership

16

and use of a parcel ofland located in Bel Air, commonly known at the time as 626 Siena Way,

17

which comprised a "residence portion" and a "garden portion." (The metes and bounds are set

18

forth on pages 5-6 of Exhibit A hereto.).

19

18. Plaintiffs are informed and believe, and on that basis allege, that following map,

20

from the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor's office, with plaintiffs annotations on it, accurately

21

depicts the location of the "residence portion" (which retained the 626 Siena Way address) and

22

the "garden portion" (which now bears the address 10619 Bellagio Road):

12 13

19. As the recitals ofthe Amended Contract explain, the Regents wanted to acquire the

14

garden portion of the parcel immediately, and the residence portion of the parcel eventually. To

15

facilitate the Regents' acquisition ofthe garden portion, Mr. Carter gave the Regents stock,

16

which the Regents sold to obtain money with which to buy the garden portion of the parcel from

17

the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Guiberson. To facilitate the Regents' acquisition ofthe

18

residence portion, Mr. Carter bought that part of the parcel directly from the Guibersons

19

himself.

20

20. The Amended Contract called for Mr. Carter to deed the residence portion of the

21

parcel to the Regents, during his life or at his death, subject to his retaining a life estate in the

22

residence portion, and subject to Mrs. Carter's having right to lease the residence portion after

23

Mr. Carter passed away.

24

21. In exchange for this valuable consideration, the Amended Contract stated that "[t]he

25

garden portion shall be retained by [the Regents] in perpetuity and shall bear the name "Hannah

26

Carter Japanese Garden."

27 28

6 Complaint


1

22. The Amended Contract stated that the Regents could sell the residence portion after

2

Mrs. Carter passed away or moved out, but it did not state the Regents could ever sell the

3

garden portion, i.e., the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden. 23. Furthermore, the Amended Contract provides that, if the Regents do sell the

4 5

residence portion, they must invest the proceeds of the sale according to a prioritized list, the

6

very first item of which is "[t]o establish an endowment of$500,000, the income to be used in

7

perpetuity for the maintenance and improvement of the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden." As

8

John Sandbrook. of the Office of the Deans ofU.C.L.A, subsequently put it in an email dated

9

January 18, 2006, "Retaining the Gardens in perpetuity is why the priority no. 1 of the specified

10

Carter endowments is the Japanese Garden maintenance endowment and, of course, the naming

11

ofthe Japanese Gardens for Hannah Carter."

12

24. The Amended Contract also provides that, if the Regents do not sell the residence,

13

then the Regents would have to fund those items on the prioritized list using their own money,

14

based on the fair market value of the residence portion of the parcel.

15

Performance

16

25. Mr. and Mrs. Carter fully performed all oftheir obligations under the Amended

17

Contract by, inter alia, Mr. Carter's having transferred to the Regents title to the residence

18

portion of the parcel, and Mrs. Carter's having paid the Regents rent to live on the residence

19

portion after Mr. Carter passed away.

20

Breach

21

26. The Regents have breached and repudiated their obligations under the Amended

22

Contract. They have done so by, inter alia, putting the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden up for

23

sale. Plaintiffs are informed and believe, and on that basis allege, that in or around February

24

2012, the Regents signed a listing agreement with a real estate broker to sell the garden, and are

25

soliciting bids for it. Plaintiffs are also informed and believe, and on that basis allege, that the

26

Regents have no intention of requiring any prospective purchaser to preserve and maintain the

27

garden.

28 7 Complaint


I

27. The Regents, moreover, have removed distinctive elements from the Hannah Carter

2

Japanese Garden, including but not limited to the five-tiered stone pagoda, a wooden and gold

3

leaf Buddha statue, a stone water basin, and a Korean stone lantern.

4

28. Furthermore, plaintiffs are informed and believe, and on that basis allege, that the

5

Regents have also put the residence portion of the parcel up for sale, and have no intention of

6

applying the proceeds of the sale of the house to the maintenance of the Hannah Carter Japanese

7

Garden.

8 9

Declaratory ReliefWarranted 29. Under the circumstances, declaratory relief is warranted. There is an actual

l0

controversy between plaintiffs, on the one hand, and the Regents and Does 1-50, on the other

11

hand, regarding: a) whether the Regents can sell the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden;

12

b) whether any purchaser could use the land for any purpose other than as the Hannah Carter

13

Japanese Garden; c) whether the Regents are contractually obliged to maintain the Hannah

14

Carter Japanese Garden in perpetuity; d) whether the Regents must return or replace valuable

15

and distinctive elements removed from the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden (e.g., the pagoda,

16

sculptures, lanterns, etc.); and e) whether the Regents must spend the proceeds from any sale of

17

the residence in accordance with their written promises to Mr. and Mrs. Carter.

18

30. Plaintiffs are therefore entitled to and hereby seek a declaratory judgment

19

establishing that, pursuant to the Amended Contract between the Carters and the Regents:

20

a) the Regents cannot sell the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden; b) any purchaser would in any

21

event have to maintain the property as the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden forever; c) the

22

Regents are contractually obligated to maintain the property as the Hannah Carter Japanese

23

Garden forever; d) the Regents must not remove valuable and distinctive elements from the

24

Hannah Carter Japanese Garden (e.g., the pagoda, sculptures, lanterns, etc.); and e) the Regents

25

must spend any sale proceeds in accordance with the prioritized list set forth in the Amended

26

Contract.

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT

2 3

(By All Plaintiffs Against All Defendants) 31. Plaintiffs incorporate the foregoing allegations as if set forth fully here.

4 5

Breach Of Contract 32. The Regents' conduct, in putting the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden up for sale,

6

and stripping away valuable and distinctive elements of the garden, constitutes a breach and

7

repudiation of the Amended Contract.

8 9

Specific Performance 33. Plaintiffs are entitled to, and hereby seek, preliminary and permanent injunctive

10

relief to compel specific performance by the Regents of their contractual obligation to maintain

11

the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden, and to spend the sale proceeds from the residence portion

12

in accordance with the itemized list in the Amended Contract.

13

34. Damages are not an adequate remedy. Money is no substitute for the unique,

14

beautiful, historical and cultural garden that the Regents promised to retain in perpetuity.

15

35. The Amended Contract was reasonable and supported by consideration. The

16

Regents received valuable land, worth millions of dollars at today's prices, in exchange for a

17

promise to maintain a garden and to fund a prioritized list of items, either by selling the

18

residence portion or by using other funds.

19

36. The Amended Contract's terms, moreover, are sufficiently definite for the Court to

20

know what to enforce. Plaintiffs seek merely to maintain the status quo that has lasted for .

21

decades, and to compel the Regents to apply funds in accordance with the itemized list in the

22

Amended Contract.

23 24 25

37. The performance requested, moreover, is not just substantially similar to that promised in the contract, but is virtually identical thereto. 38. Plaintiffs accordingly seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to compel

26

specific performance by the Regents of their contractual obligations, including but not limited to

27

orders and a judgment: a) precluding the Regents from transferring ownership and/or

28

possession of the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden to any third party; b) requiring the Regents to 9

Complaint


1

keep their written promise to maintain the garden; c) requiring the Regents to return or replace

2

the elements they have removed from the garden (e.g., the pagoda, statues, etc.); d) requiring the

3

Regents to ensure that any successor-in-interest keeps the promises the Regents made in writing

4

to the Mr. and Mrs. Carter; and e) requiring the Regents to spend the proceeds from the sale of

5

the residence portion in accordance with the prioritized list in the Amended Contract.

6 7

Alternative Relief 39. In the alternative, if the Court for some reason deems specific performance

8

inappropriate or impracticable, plaintiffs seek any and all appropriate preliminary and

9

permanent injunctive, equitable or other relief sufficient to recover or replace the Hannah Carter

l0

Japanese Garden, including but not limited to an injunction requiring the Regents to:

11

a) repurchase the property from anyone to whom they sell it and, if necessary, to use the

12

Regents' statutory power of eminent domain to do so; b) restore the garden; c) alternatively,

13

purchase or obtain, through eminent domain, another parcel of property in Bel Air that is

14

reasonably comparable in size and location to the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden, and recreate

15

the garden on that parcel, to the greatest extent possible; d) replace the elements that the

16

Regents removed from the garden; and e) maintain the garden in perpetuity.

17

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION FOR BREACH OF THE IMPLIED COVENANT OF

18

GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING

19

(By All Plaintiffs Against All Defendants)

20

40. Plaintiffs incorporate the foregoing allegations as if set forth fully here.

21

41. The Regents' conduct constitutes a breach of the implied covenant of good faith and

22

fair dealing. The Regents, having fully obtained all of the benefits of the parties' contract, seek

23

to avoid all of the burdens, including not just the express provisions therein, but also the

24

obligations implied by law. Plaintiffs are therefore entitled to and hereby seek the relief

25

described above.

26 27 28

WHEREFORE, plaintiffs pray for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and for judgment against the defendants as follows: 1. For a declaration confirming the parties' respective rights and duties under the 10

Complaint


contracts in issue, including in particular a declaration that the Regents and their successors-in2

interest must maintain the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden in perpetuity;

3

2. For preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to compel specific performance,

4

including, in particular, a judgment requiring the Regents and their successors-in-interest to

5

maintain the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden in perpetuity, and to restore or replace the statues

6

and other items they have removed therefrom;

7

3. For any and all other appropriate relief to restore or replace the garden and the items

8

the Regents have removed therefrom, including but not limited to preliminary and permanent

9

injunctions forbidding the Regents and their successors-in-interest from: a) conveying title the

l0

Hannah Carter Japanese Garden; b) leasing the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden; c) allowing the

11

destruction, whether partial or complete, of the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden; d) allowing the

12

removal of structures, statutes and other elements from the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden; and

13

d) failing to maintain the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden properly.

14

4. For any and all other appropriate alternative relief to recreate the garden, including

15

but not limited to preliminary and permanent injunctions requiring the Regents: to obtain,

16

whether through purchase or the exercise of eminent domain, comparable property in Bel Air;

17

to convert that property into a garden like the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden; and to maintain

18

it as such forever, just as the Regents promised Mr. and Mrs. Carter they would.

19

5. For costs; and

20

6. For nominal damages and any and all other relief to which the plaintiffs are entitled.
