Suit filed over Katy Buffalo Wild Wings electric lines

A Memorial company is being sued after a Katy-area Buffalo Wild Wings had to replace overhead electric lines with underground electric service.

CS Copperfield Ventures filed a lawsuit on March 29 in Harris County District Court against Memorial-area G & G Design and Consulting and others, alleging breach of contract, violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, negligence and gross negligence.

CS Copperfield, a company that acquires and operates Buffalo Wild Wings, says that on Jan. 13, 2009, it hired G & G to assist in making sure that its restaurant, located at 5805 Highway 6 N. in Katy, met all the local code constraints and restrictive covenants regarding construction and use of electric facilities.

After construction, Copperfield discovered that G & G breached their agreement when it was notified by Yorktown Crossing Commercial Property Owner’s Association that the overhead electric lines Copperfield built for the restaurant were expressly prohibited and that it must remove and replace them with underground electric service.

CS Copperfield is seeking actual, exemplary and treble damages, as well as attorney’s fees and court costs. It is being represented in the case by Houston attorney Mary Frances vonBerg.
