Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):

hi craig, i understand your comments; however my question about the success of mr tucker's (court suggested/recommended) meeting with TMC management to work out a method of an attorney using the owners' list (i assume under court supervision) for purposes of establishing a case involving as many owners' as possible, remains unanswered. did or didn't tucker meet with TMC MGMT yet, and what was the outcome if he did? regardless of whether this is a class action suit or not, the list appears to be a key component of whichever type of lawsuit is brought to court. bottom line: owners need an answer regarding the availability of the owners' list to help them make an appropriate decision regarding joining a lawsuit. if the number of owners being part of any court proceeding is essential, that makes the list of owners obviously essential. this issue needs to be addressed.

He is not.

He is trying to work for the Owners who hired him in a parallel way using the same basic approach for each case. He is trying to keep costs down, sign up as many owners as he can (including me), and, as part of the deal, he also keeps any bonus awards such as punitive damages.

While I can't remember the details, a class action was a non-starter, and he could not afford to work on a contingent-only basis (neither could any other attorney).

While he may or may not be successful, this is the only viable approach the owners have right now. For all the hundreds of pages of venting, nobody has a better approach. The State of New York has no more interest in the case, and the city never did have an interest.
