civilsuit

Dear Friends, Veterans, Marines and families of Beirut survivors and victims,
As the proposed resolution against the Republic of Iran moves through to the House, I was perplexed on how/why the scope of the plaintiffs regarding the U.S. District Court lawsuit was narrowly defined. There seemed to be an apparent disconnect/inequity.

Per discussion with the attorney representing the litigants: Thomas Fortune FAY, P.C; It condenses to two statute of limitations:

1. Survivors/victims primary next of kin surviving had a period of ten years from the event to establish a claim (not certain when the clock ran out).

2. Minor children born before of the survivor's on/ or before the date had ten years from reaching 18th birthday

In order to expedite the damages portion of the court proceedings, masters or temporary judges will be assigned to different geographic regions. Masters are usually experienced attorneys or retired judges. Please bear in mind, if a claim is made, the Claimant will have to be interviewed w/audiovisual and provide sworn testimony/disposition as to the events of the bombing.

I have learned form the Law Office of Thomas Fortune Fay that a new window of opportunity has briefly opened up and you now have 60 days. The attorney requested that I share this information and that when this question was put to the masters, there was no dissention.

It would be a great benefit for many that were originally omitted from inclusion to have an opportunity to become listed once more.

Recommend getting the word out by any/all available means during this years upcoming Remembrance in Jacksonville, NC (23 Oct 2007)

Request your assistance in notifying all and any concerned that are eligible for consideration in getting the word out to veteran survivors and the primary next of kin survivors as to contact the firm:
