Bacara Resort & Spa is embroiled in a huge civil lawsuit that has already tarnished the luxury hideaway's five stars and could jeopardize the resort's future, according to attorneys for the owners.
Underneath its impeccable glossy surface, the complex is rotting, cracking and crumbling away, the result of a litany of building defects, court documents allege.
Over the course of two years, the case has bogged down in a morass of multiple claims ricocheting among the resort owners, insurance companies, contractors, engineers, architects, subcontractors and sub-subcontractors.
This civil case has already generated well over one million pages of evidentiary documents and a stack of 30 door-stop files in the records office at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, and any trial is still more than six months away.
