Default Re: MAFCA lawsuit

Back to the original issue for a change, I believe that MAFCA was sued because it was a MAFCA organized event....when they are involved in any way in Model A events I believe they have some legal liability and can be brought in. Another point is that in many cases, if there are multiple parties in a lawsuit, than the one "most able" to pay often times gets tagged with the lion's share of cost..........this is called "deep pockets". One last point, after working in the homebuilding industry for over 37 years, you quickly find out that you will lose virtually every case that any homeowner takes you to court on.......the little guy vs. the big company, and trying to litigate it almost always costs much more than settling it early, because you will likely still lose and be responsible for not only your costs, but also the plaintiff. Basically, you cannot win most of those types of cases...in this case, guilt by association would be an apt description.
