Leisure World HOAs, Arrogance, Incompetence, Stupidity or
Senility?
What part of You Must Fork Over the Documents is not
clear?
Posted By CotoBlogzz
We
have referred to David
Lyon as the original David battling the HOA Goliath. Further, Mr. Lyon was the inspiration for the CotoBuzz
Journals’ the Davy HOA Awards: Mr. Lyon’s quest for Leisure World homeowner
association transparency began in January 2004 when a group of seven
owners, including Carol Franz, Edmund Loritz & Co. filed some 16 suits in Small Claims Court
after they were refused access to
financial records. They soon were involved in an owner’s worst
nightmare, indeed a
David vs. Goliath battle, until the California Supreme Court Decision’s on Golden
Rain Foundation vs Franz and Golden Rain Foundation vs
Lyon. Or so we thought.
After all, it is
widely known that the Attorney General, the California Real Estate Commission and the State Bar do no have the tools
to resolve homeowner conflicts, and the tools provided to management by the CAI
for the last 35-years or so, have made
it more of a challenge. So, how many
residents in their own mind would fund litigation through several
appeals, all the way to the Supreme Court, as Mr. Lyon has done? After all, the local governing bodies have
virtual bottomless pockets, funded by the same residents who are
conflicted.
On January 5, 2009, Judge
Ronald L. Bauer ruled on Mr. Lyon’s favor, including an award for fees incurred during the litigation.
In September, Franz and
Loritz were back in Orange County Superior Court, asking the judge to demand
that their Mutual Two, one of 16 mutuals in Leisure World, abide by the Supreme
Court’s decision, but the Mutual Two board argues it is not an association and
hence the board in essence, can do anything it wants. Some of the 16 mutuals are apparently willing to agree that they
are associations.
Is it Arrogance, Incompetence, Stupidity or
Senility? What part of You Must Fork Over the Documents is not clear to Mutual
Two and others?
