Heirs of the late philanthropist Hannah Carter have gone to court to block the University of California at Los Angeles from selling a Japanese garden that the university purchased with donated funds, reports the Los Angeles Times.

In a suit filed Monday, the plaintiffs contend the sale breaches a contract in which University of California Board of Regents committed to maintain the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden permanently.
