UCLA, Under Armour drop dueling lawsuits

UCLA and Under Armour "dropped dueling litigation that began when the university sued the company alleging that the firm wrongfully reneged" on its $280M sports apparel deal with the school in 2020. A lawyer for the UC Regents, acting on behalf of UCLA, filed court papers with Santa Monica Superior Court Judge H. Jay Ford III "asking that all litigation be dismissed 'with prejudice,' meaning it cannot be refiled." The court papers "do not state whether a settlement was reached, but lawyers in the case told the judge during a June 2 hearing that settlement talks were in progress." The regents sued Under Armour in September 2020, alleging that UA "told UCLA it was invoking a clause in the agreement due to the coronavirus pandemic to terminate the contract" (L.A. DAILY NEWS, 7/28).
