It Goes Both Ways

FYI

Beginning with 2005, Ms. Jordan began complaining to the association and its board members alleging mismanagement. Ms. Jordan went on to file four different lawsuits against the association and its individual board members. She later dismissed or had the court rule against her on all four lawsuits. But Ms. Jordan did not stop there. In 2010, Ms. Jordan filed fraud claims with the North Carolina Real Estate Commission and the State Bureau of Investigations against the association. Following investigations, her claims were also dropped.

In 2011, Elizabeth Townes Association decided to put an end to it. The association sued Ms. Jordan seeking to stop the “continuous and repeated harassment.” After almost two years, on February 4, 2013, the trial court entered judgment against Ms. Jordan—compensatory and punitive damages in the amount of $34,929.59 for increased insurance premiums, increased property management fees, and direct legal costs. The court found that Ms. Jordan engaged in malicious prosecution and abuse of process and defamed the association.

It should be pointed out that previous courts had instructed the defendant to cease contacting certain people (Board, PM) but they continued to do that.

The ruling was that the defendant was in civil contempt of the court NOT that they were contacting the Board concerning issues. It was the continual contact after a court ordered them to stop contacting that appears to be the crux of the case.

Well, it appears I messed that attempt up.
Sorry about that - I'm in a rush trying to get out of here for an appointment.

I read that story quite a while ago, on a HOA attorneys website. She seemed as nutty as they come, crazy story never heard another quite like it. It was very extreme. It does certainly prove it's possible to go both ways.
