Jurisprudence
Jose Canseco of the Oakland A’s already has several legal problems, including a pending divorce.
Now, he and his wife face a breach-of-contract suit filed by a developer for alleged nonpayment of work done on the couple’s $1.3-million home.
The suit, filed in Contra Costa County Superior Court on Feb. 27, says the Cansecos contracted with the company last June for amenities that included a $33,500 pool and spa, a $29,200 cabana and a $14,000 electronic gate system.
Canseco, whose five-year contract will pay him $23.5 million, refused to pay the $29,475.99 balance, attorney Robert J. Kahn said. Canseco’s attorney, Robert Shapiro, was unavailable for comment.
