The legal battle over the future of approximately 40 Ficus trees on Robertson Boulevard remains stayed, while the Court of Appeals rules on the city of Beverly Hills’ request to replace the Superior Court judge presiding in the case.
On March 30, Superior Court Judge Richard L. Fruin, Jr. granted a restraining order to temporarily halt the city’s removal of Ficus trees under the Robertson Boulevard sidewalk repair program. The city then filed a request to recuse Fruin from the case.
