Petition to Lift Stay in Bankruptcy Case

The Carthage Press reported (Wednesday, May 6, 2009) that attorneys for Carthage resident, Cynthia Sundy, plan to file a petition with the Bankruptcy Court in New York, allowing the Sundy lawsuit to proceed. When Changing World Technologies, Inc filed for bankruptcy in March 2009, that put a hold on all legal proceedings. Cynthia Sundy's attorneys (John Tomlinson, Beasley-Allen Law Firm, Montgomery, AL) want to get the lawsuit re-started.

The Cynthia Sundy lawsuit is seeking class action status, claiming that odors from the plant had “injured area residents and property owners by diminishing their right to enjoy their property and diminished their property values,” by suggesting that it could include as many as 6,375 people in 2406 homes in Carthage.
