⚖️ Legal Update XII: Recent Legal Activity
December 29, 2020

In our last “Legal Update” in our December 12, 2020 newsletter, we reported on what appeared to be the status of the two remaining active lawsuits involving the Club. There have been some developments in both cases that can perhaps be best described as “case administration activity,” but since they could end up being consequential developments, we wanted to get this information out before the New Year.

Borers vs. Pompano Senior Squadron Flying Club, Inc.

We previously mentioned, back on December 7, 2020, the Borers filed a Motion to Amend their complaint to reduce the number of parties and correct the Club’s legal name in a lawsuit seeking to recover the $1,700 Membership Fee paid when joining the Club in 2018. That Motion to Amend still remains open without any apparent action taken by the Court. On December 23, 2020, three new entries were added to the docket. One entry had a document included, a Motion to Produce at Trial and another was a note that the Borers obtained a subpoena from the Court to summon former Club Treasurer Carl Kennedy. [Read More...]

Upcoming Deadlines and Public Trial: Although the authority of the Notice filed by the Club on December 4, 2020, purporting to establish a trial schedule and rules, remains unclear, the Notice recites a deadline to file all documents/exhibits for trial by Monday, January 4, 2021. The Notice also says the trial will occur a week later, on Monday, January 11, 2021 at 10:00am. Assuming this schedule holds up, we will add a link with details on our web site, plus an electronic calendar file.

Pompano Senior Squadron Flying Club, Inc. vs. Carl L. Kennedy, II

There have been a number of filings by both sides in this case following our last Legal Update on December 12, 2020. This seems to be following a pattern of counterproductive motions and hearings of the sort Judge Haimes foresaw back on November 17, 2020. With a sarcastic tone, the Judge then told the parties, seemingly directed primarily to the Club’s officers present, that instead of rolling up their sleeves and talking to one another, the parties should perhaps not talk to each other to resolve the case, keep spending money on lawyer costs, and get ready for the next round of motions in 30 days. Since our last Legal Update on December 12, 2020, a total of 10 new documents were added to the docket, although two of them appear to be duplicates: [Read More...]

Next Public Hearing: Tuesday, January 12, 2021 at 8:30 am via Zoom. We have a link with details on our web site, but you can download an electronic calendar file that has all the details. We have a hard time believing that Judge Haimes will not drop an anvil on the head of any Club officer who appears and attempts justify the Club’s performance, persistent failure in meeting discovery deadlines, and playing shell games with discovery documents in the process. It seems like this could be an expensive day for the Club and has all the makings of an informative, if not entertaining, morning.

We will update the litigation pages as this case proceeds. Please feel free to continue sending feedback to news-feedback@pompanobeachflyingclub.info or just reply to this newsletter. Below are some quick links to the main areas of our web site.
