A long-running legal battle between the operator of a Mount Vernon tennis center and the city has ended with an undisclosed settlement.
The dispute began after the city deflated the bubble over the Kela Tennis center in 2018.
A jury found the city breached its contract and awarded Kela Tennis $12 million. However, an appellate court later ordered a new trial on damages only.
That trial was scheduled to begin last week when the settlement was reached. It is not known how much Kela Tennis will receive.
A city spokesman says the agreement remains subject to approval by the Board of Estimate, but the city is pleased it can move on from the continued litigation.
An attorney for Kela Tennis did not return calls seeking comment.
