Animaccord Ltd. v. The Individuals, Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations

Ok, let's do it your way:

Your concerns are perfectly valid. You are at personal risk about this matter and need to respond properly. You need to contact an attorney.


(See? Same result.)

 

Ok. If he does that, he'll have to serve you with the summons and complaint and you'll have time once that happens to file a responsive pleading (if you choose to do so).

I don't know if you picked up on this or not, but "adjusterjack" was not looking at the complaint in your case. He was looking at something in a completely different court. As "flyingron" noted, we cannot tell, in your case, who the defendants are or whether the plaintiff named "doe" defendants. It probably did, and even if it didn't, complaints are pretty easy to amend. So yes, it's a possibility that you'll get named personally. How likely is it? I have no idea, but most of my prior comments about the efficacy of a judgment from a federal court in Florida against a UK resident apply to you as well. Do you have assets or a source of income in Florida? Or anywhere in the U.S.? If not, there's nothing the plaintiff can do even if it gets a judgment against you (and, even if the matter goes by default, it takes more than just knowing your name and connecting you to your dissolved company to get a judgment against you). It could file an action in a UK court seeking to domesticate the judgment against you, but you'd then have an opportunity to challenge it -- including an opportunity to argue that you're not subject to personal jurisdiction in the United States.

Bottom line: the more you do relating to this lawsuit in Florida, the easier you will make it for the plaintiff to shake you down for money.

 

Just to be clear, I'm only suggesting you consider the consequences and benefits of any particular action or inaction in light of your company's status as a dissolved entity.

 

Can I ask what the upshot is to this as also they’ve filed one with our eBay shop name

 

Folks, the following is information posted in another thread:

I deleted the other thread as a duplicate.

 

This is a different case and duffferent circumstances and not like the other thread. After any advice that could be helpful regarding specifics that no sakes were made in USA or Florida and only 380 dollars of sales £280

 

Both threads had the same title. Anyway, it's gone now.
