I really doubt that Margy Golant would file a lawsuit and face her own peers and a judge if she were at all concerned about getting the case thrown out as a frivolous law suit ...........or losing. I am afraid I think there obviously is probable cause for Margy to take this step and I am afraid I don't think there is any chance in ANY that she will lose!! These charges were specifically against the named Board members and should have stayed that way.........but I am afraid on Sunday morning when this Board voted to indemnify the defendants it became a Club problem as it basically means now the GSDCA Inc. resources will be used to pay for, or to reimburse those individuals for litigation. Our Insurance carrier will not be happy....... Carolyn _marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) The board can stand on their collective heads, they can decide to pay any settlement out of GSDCA coffers, but what they CAN'T do is bind the D & O insurance carrier to cover those executive members who didn't follow the bylaws and are now named in a suit. Go ahead, anybody, don't take my word for it, google D & O insurance, pull up sample policies, READ the exclusions...it isn't rocket science. Yeah, yeah I know, a copy of the suit was forwarded and there was a phone call to the insurance company on Monday, FOLLOWING the meeting where a vote was taken to indemnify the named parties....when was the last time any of you got a verbal confirmation promising to pay an insurance claim that hasn't even been filed yet? I'm thinking never. BY THE WAY, IF THERE'S ONE THING THE NEW BOARD SHOULD HAVE LEARNED OVER THE LAST YEAR IT'S NOT TO VOTE WITHOUT INFORMATION, YET THE VOTE WAS TAKEN SUNDAY AND OPPPPSSSSS!...A PHONE CALL TO THE INSURANCE CARRIER WAS PLACED MONDAY. Should prove interesting...
