a GNN perspective about the GATA/Howe lawsuit If you just read the gata egroups.com message that had a description of the lawsuit and discovery phase, then most likely it was in one ear and outta the other since most only really want to hear Success Achieved. But follows was included in that gata message, and the message was that other persons and things and places animal vegtebale aliens from Mars and gold bugs in any state of sad affairs may join this lawsuit as described in the message. a.k.a. Party aTime - come one come all and join the hunt the WELCOME sign is Lighted and Blinking and as shareholders have a weak hand all they have to do is join up with the company and then following the company into battle as written in the gata message the rules governing civil litigation in the federal courts allow other parties to intervene, either as plaintiffs or defendants, if they have a right or interest that may be affected by the action. Plaintiff- intervenors are not generally permitted in antitrust cases brought by the government, but they are often allowed in private civil actions to enforce the antitrust laws. What is more, a plaintiff-intervenor may seek in an appropriate case to intervene as a class representative, and thus to convert the suit to a class action. gold mining companies themselves have a much stronger basis for intervention, and shareholders should probably direct their efforts in this direction. Other possible plaintiff-intervenors include people who have dealt or traded in gold during the pendency of the alleged price-fixing scheme, or those who are paid or compensated under formulas based on gold prices. Potential plaintiff-intervenors also have the option of starting their own legal actions. When brought in federal courts, different actions in essentially the same matter are frequently consolidated under special provisions for complex and multi-district litigation. Many plaintiffs, especially in class-action cases, adopt a quite proprietary attitude toward their lawsuits and resist intrusion by plaintiff-intervenors. But my inclination is to look more favorably on this possibility, particularly if a well-funded party with able counsel presents itself to the court.

Yet another Gata Nut News Contest - Who What How to join the GATA Hunt Might the Africa trip by GATA conclude with an organization by those harmed by the gold manipulation to speak and act as a group and join the lawsuit and run its course in parallel? Might those gold producers in Australia finally realize that they were taken for a ride, and with the support of their shaeholders join like the African interests may join? If so then the gold manipulators would have to fight three forces. Any more possible? [start] Many plaintiffs... adopt a proprietary attitude toward their lawsuits and resist intrusion by plaintiff-intervenors. But... [the GATA/Howe lawsuit] inclination is to look more favorably on this possibility, particularly if a well-funded party with able counsel presents itself to the court. [stop] doug
