When the Bay Guardian won a $16 million judgment against its rival SF Weekly in 2008, everyone knew that collecting the money would be a fight in and of itself.

Now, a court has allowed the papery plaintiff to intercept the rent that the SF Weekly collects from a subtenant at its San Francisco offices. While the East Bay Express was once owned by the company that owns the SF Weekly (and many of us are close friends with SF Weekly staffers), this paper is not a party in the lawsuit.
