THE MAJURO INVESTMENT CORPORATION v. VASILE TIMIS et al
P sought equitable compensation or damages of $50.5 million for alleged wrongdoings by D1 and others as a shareholder of D7 and D8 claiming on their behalf. The case was marked by issues of jurisdiction standing to sue and non-disclosure at the ex parte hearing. P was formed for the specific purpose of commencing the action leading to questions about evading costs consequences. The court found P lacked standing and the case unmeritorious dismissing claims against D1 and awarding indemnity costs to D1 due to P's abusive litigation behavior. P and a third-party funder were ordered to disclose funding sources.
