Requested Amount By Plaintiff’s Attorney Was $2.9 Million.
On April 8, 2016, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark Mooney determined that Bikram Choudhury, a well known yoga pioneer, owed $1.1 million in attorney’s fees after a jury found that he was liable for $7.4 million on claims he wrongfully terminated and sexually harassed his ex-legal advisor. Plaintiff’s attorney had asked for recovery of $2.9 million in fees, inclusive of a positive multiplier request. Judge Mooney acknowledged that the award might go away should Mr. Choudhury be granted a new trial based on pending post-trial motions.
