The lawsuit was settled.
The "Proposed Settlement" has yet to be approved by the Court.
I am surprised that this lawsuit settlement is still unapproved by the court. It should never have been settled short of the Discovery Process, as Diamond would have had many issues of potential fraud to answer too... I say potential only in that legal sense that "Fraud" is a criminal issue filed by the Prosecuting Attorney or the State Attorney General, but that in a civil complaint has a much lower threshold of proof that is required to win a judgement... I feel that I was the victim of a fraud committed by Diamond Resorts in the amount of over $ 56,000 ... So if you are going to push forward with a civil fraud suit, I will certainly be interested... I was very critical of the COPP group for selling out its members with this phony settlement... I have a copy of the Class Action suit filed by the group, and know that if they had gotten to discovery, Diamond would have paid out rather than open its records
