It is important to understand that a class action certification hearing the initial procedural step where a judge will determine if a lawsuit can proceed as a class action law suit. The judge will not decide the merits of the case, but will decide if the claim has a valid cause of action, a defined class, common issues, a suitable representative, and is the preferred method for resolution.

Other Class Action Pursuits

  • An investigation team comprised of a lawyer, researcher and a forensic accountant had worked diligently with the help of Rose Ray , to create a report that would be used to highlight potential law suits pertaining to Fortress. A potential Class action lawsuit against Lamb Development Corp was filed, however unfortunately the law firm Groia advised they were unable to pursue the lawsuit further.  Archived communications regarding this endeavour can be found here.

  • Another law firm, Kallochlian Myers LLP filed a Statement of Claim in 2020 against Olympia Trust Company for the registered funds investors. However, on June 19, 2023, the Court of Appeal for Ontario has dismissed the appeal of the order dismissing the motion for certification. A copy of the decision is available here

If you are an investor who has approached a law firm regarding a class action law suit against other Fortress related parties not mentioned on our website, please let us know.

Processos judiciais de ação coletiva

Uma equipe de investigação composto of um advogado, pesquisador e um contador forense trabalharam diligentemente com a ajuda de Rose Ray, para criar um relatório que seria usado para destacar possíveis processos judiciais relativos à Fortaleza. Um potencial processo de ação coletiva contra Brad J Lamb Realty Inc./Lamb Development Corp foi aberto, mas, infelizmente, o escritório de advocacia Groia decidiu que não poderia prosseguir com o processo.  Comunicações arquivadas sobre este empreendimento podem ser encontradasaqui. Se você é um investidor que abordou um escritório de advocacia em relação a uma ação coletiva contra outras partes relacionadas ao Fortress não mencionadas em nosso site, informe-nos.

Até onde sabemos, existem atualmente 2 equipes de escritórios de advocacia que buscam ações judiciais coletivas que podem beneficiar alguns dos investidores de hipotecas sindicalizadas do Fortress RDI. Os detalhes estão abaixo.
