Official NorVergence Class Action Hearing Reaction Statement

“A hearing on Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction was held on November 1, 2004 at the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Trenton Division). An Amicus Curiae Brief was filed in the Class Action on behalf of the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey and the Director of the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. The Honorable Stanley R. Chesler denied Plaintiffs' motion, holding, in part, that there was not a showing at this time, under federal law, that there will be irreparable harm to the putative class if individual class members must defend, in foreign jurisdictions, individual lawsuits filed by the leasing companies. This was not a decision on the merits of the case, and counsel for the class hopes to proceed with a motion for class certification as soon as possible.”

Here is a copy of a memo sent by Mr. Green to “Class Members:”

“RE: Norvergence Class Action, Preliminary Injunction Hearing

“District Court for the District of New Jersey (Trenton)

“Dear Class Members:
“Yesterday, unfortunately, we lost a battle, but certainly not the
war. The Court denied our motion for a preliminary injunction.

“A hearing on Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction was held
on November 1, 2004 at the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey (Trenton Division). An Amicus Curiae Brief
was filed in the Class Action on behalf of the Attorney General of
the State of New Jersey and the Director of the New Jersey Division
of Consumer Affairs in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion for a
Preliminary Injunction.

“The Honorable Stanley R. Chesler denied Plaintiffs' motion, holding,
in part, that there was not a showing at this time, under federal
law, that there will be irreparable harm to the putative class if
individual class members must defend, in foreign jurisdictions,
individual lawsuits filed by the leasing companies.

“Please keep in mind that yesterday's motion for a preliminary
injunction carried a very high burden for the plaintiffs to meet.
This was not a decision on the merits of the case, and counsel for
the class hopes to proceed with a motion for class certification as
soon as possible.

“There were in fact, as has been noted by an attending class member, a very large number of defendant attorneys present, nothing unexpected, and certainly something that as plaintiffs' attorneys we are used to. However, if the law is with you, the numbers don't matter. It is the law that levels the playing field.

“And, as to the merits of this case, it our firm belief, that the law
is with us, and it will carry the day. We will proceed with a motion
for class certification as soon as possible.”
