If the lawsuit by the..."It is frivolous"<br /><br />If the lawsuit by the HOA against the homeowner was frivilous, it would be reported by advocates of tort-reform, such as <a href="http://www.foxbusiness.com/on-air/stossel/blog" rel="nofollow">John ("Common Sense" and "Give Me A Break!") Stossel</a> and the website <a href="http://overlawyered.com/" rel="nofollow">Overlawyered.com</a> ("Chronicling the high cost of our legal system").<br /><br />Since this has been deemed this not worthy of mention, the HOA's legal actions cannot be considered frivilous. It is the <i>homeowner</i> who is imposing a cost upon society by insisting on taking <i>her</i> frivilous case to court.<br /><br />In the world view of Stossel <i>et al.</i>, individuals suing corporations is harmful to society, and should be outlawed; 7th Amendment be damned. But corporations suing individual Americans is necessary for capitalism to work. And capitalism would work so much better if individual consumers and workers have fewer rights. Because once individuals have fewer rights, they will be less likely to engage in costly litigation that they can't (and shouldn't) win. <br /><br />When the Republican vision of tort-reform is enacted, the cost savings can be passed on to the executives and shareholders, resulting in a rising tide that will lift all yachts. Those without boats or life preservers will have to continue treading water to stay afloat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060417.post-57777660614414495212012-10-03T03:05:07.596-05:002012-10-03T03:05:07.596-05:00The HOA attorney says "There's no face to...The HOA attorney says "There's no face to the association, so it's pretty easy to vilify the association when in all honesty this is a straightforward matter"<br /><br />Indeed, the "association" is a mask no different than the mask worn by the KKK. The cloak of anonymity allows board members and their agents (attorneys, management companies) to terrorize fellow homeowners at will. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
