Court removes delay in Harmon tower lawsuit - Business - ReviewJournal.com

The Nevada Supreme Court has ended a nearly yearlong delay in a lawsuit between developers of CityCenter and Perini Building Co., potentially setting the stage for implosion of the unfinished Harmon tower.

The ruling signed Wednesday came in a case that will determine whether Perini or CityCenter developer MGM Resorts International is financially responsible for damages to the troubled building. While limited, the ruling clears away an issue that has delayed resolution of the legal battle and, ultimately, the fate of the building.

Six of the seven justices overturned Clark County District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez's decision that disqualified part of CityCenter's legal team, leaving the case in limbo. The justices said the lawyers, who had been involved in another lawsuit against Perini, could also represent CityCenter. Justice Kris Pickering recused herself from the case.
