***UPDATE to 12/16 blog entry below***
We have now obtained a copy of the court transcript from December 9th, 2014, when the court denied the Sher group's attempt to avoid an election.
The official court transcript can be found HERE:
The Central Theme - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BYLAWS
Caryn Shaw, youngest of the Shaw sisters who only recently passed the bar exam, is now appearing in court to represent the Sher group. Anne Shaw is either too busy campaigning to become a Chicago Alderman, or she doesn't have much faith in the Sher group's case.
Basically, Caryn tried to argue that Sher and the Master Board have the right (under state law) to completely repeal Cedar Run's Bylaws and subsequently replace them with the bogus Bylaws written in 2012.......all without following the amendment procedures in the REAL Bylaws. A majority of the proceedings involve Judge Garcia explaining to her that it cannot be done and that her logic is (at best) completely off-base.
At one point (page 9, line 9), Judge Garcia even refers to one of Caryn Shaw's arguments as "demeaning".
On page 17, line 11, Judge Garcia states that the Sher group's motion to dismiss the case to compel an election "......is absolutely, unequivocally denied."
Judge Garcia also indicated that he was quite disturbed by the fact the the Sher group has been functioning for so long, on a bogus set of bylaws, with no elections.
What's Next?
Motions for a T.R.O. (Temporary Restraining Order) have been filed that will probably look to restrict the board's (and Sher's) power since they have CLEARLY operated ILLEGALLY. They will likely try and specify how the election should be announced & handled.
The next hearing date on these motions is December 17th. We will post something on the blog as soon as we have new information.
The courthouse is located at:
Daley Center
50 W. Washington, Rm. 2601
Chicago, Illinois 60602
(312) 603-5415
We believe that the judge will make an important ruling that will outline the details of the election and how Cedar Run will be managed until such an election. A great showing of concerned homeowners would send a message to the court and everyone in the courtroom that Cedar Run homeowners care about their community. It will help underscore the need for the court to act swiftly in restoring the rule of law in Cedar Run.
So grab your Cedar Run knapsack, and head on down to the Daley Center on Monday!
