Rubicon Financial Incorporated v. Grant Bettingen
from 11/09 10q
In July of 2009, we filed our first amended complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, for the County of Orange – Central Justice Center (Case Number 30-2009-00124138-CU-BC-CJC), against Grant Bettingen and Grant Bettingen, as Trustee of the 1999 Bettingen Trust U/D/T October 8, 1999, seeking damages for:
1.
Breach of Contract;
2.
Fraud;
3.
Declaratory Relief;
4.
Breach of Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing; and
5.
Unjust Enrichment.
These claims arise from the June 2008 merger between us and Grant Bettingen, Inc. (now known as Newport Coast Securities, Inc.) On or about August 10, 2009, we were served with a suit from M. Grant Bettingen, the Bettingen 1999 Trust and Christi Bettingen stemming from the same transaction and alleging 31 causes of action. These two cases have been consolidated. We believe the Bettingen claims have no merit. As of the date of this filing, we are continuing to aggressively pursue this action.
