Current Issues Affecting Our Retirees - 2011

 

Message From Tom Westfield to our PARA members:

We have been advised by Tom Westfield that he has filed a complaint in the court in connection with the E-ZPass issue and we wanted to let you know about this if you were not already aware of it. 

The following is an excerpt from Tom Westfield's message to the PARA Board:

"Dave

As a courtesy, I am informing you, and the PARA Board that I have filed a complaint in Morris County Superior Court alleging that the Port Authority Breached its Promise, Breached its Contract, Is Estopped from Removing the Benefit, and is Unjustly Enriching itself.  I have also asked for certification as a Class Action and have defined the Class as anyone who is retired, and filed a timely Notice of Claim regarding the E-ZPass issue.  Although PARA has "no dog in this fight," the statute runs on December 31, 2011 with the last date to file (provided you gave Notice), apparently, by the close of business on December 30, 2011.

Any of your members who meet that criteria, and desire to do so, may institute their own action.

Thank you for your past courtesies and postings.

Regards

Thomas Westfield, Esq."
