The biggest question now is how much M.A. West Rockies could receive in damages. The appeals court recommended that the company receive attorneys fees as well as any financial losses that resulted from the eviction.

Aaron Okrent, attorney for M.A. West Rockies, said the ruling is so recent that he had not had a chance to talk to his client.

“I have not quantified it as of yet,” he said. “These people ... put M.A. West Rockies out of business. If you look at that, (the loss is) a substantial figure.”

The city of Yakima, the sole owner of the airport, is taking a wait-and-see approach.

“We have to get a sense of what the cost exposure is,” said Yakima City Manager Tony O’Rourke. “It could be substantial.”

In addition, city officials have suspended talks to purchase part of the property at 2810 W. Washington Ave.
