In court it came out that the pres. of the assoc. had not consulted nor informed the other board members of what he was doing he acted on his own.Can I sue him for my legal fees.?..This has taken a yr to come to court and I've had to park in the street all this time |
My response:
Nope. The reason?
You failed to plead an affirmative defense to his lawsuit, saying that he had no "legal standing." And, you failed to file a Motion to Strike the complaint based upon that ground. You could have had the complaint dismissed.
If you didn't know he had no legal standing to do this on his own prior to trial, then you failed to find this fact out during the "discovery" stage.
It's over.
