SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 18 – In a case that has
been pending for 21 years,
H.M.S. Hussar, Inc. sued "The
Unidentified, Wrecked, and
Abandoned Sailing
Vessel."
On August 18, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Loretta A. Preska held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
called in, identified itself,
and covered it.
A man who
identified himself as Captain
Rob called in as well.
So too a man who
reminisced about Judge Preska
having put the litigants into
her jury room to work it out.
(Inner City Press previously
witnessed this in Judge
Preska's Argentina
case).
Then, the
speaker said, his adversary
disappeared, into the Bronx.
Now there are questions about
the partnership: the Board
Members "have no access to the
corporate books... This has
stymied the recovery / salvage
efforts of the wreck."
Judge
Preska acted to try to get the
21-year-old case to stop
drifting.
It is
H.M.S. Hussar, Inc. v. The
Unidentified, 00-cv-121
(Preska)
