Before the Federal Court presents today its decision to disburse millions of dollars among Hillblom’s heir claimants, James E. Hollman has sought for a preliminary injunction and asked the court to hear his case prior to judgment.<\/p>\n
He alleges that the guardians of the claimants from Palau and the Philippines failed to establish a distribution trust whereby his ward has been guaranteed payment.<\/p>\n
Hollman is the guardian of the minor claimant from Vietnam and entered into an agreement in 1997 with the named guardians of Junior Larry Hillbroom, Julian Cuartero and Mercedita Feliciano.<\/p>\n
The agreement promised for a guaranteed minimum payment for each participant ward and the confidentiality of DNA results.<\/p>\n
However, the DNA findings for Hillbroom, Cuartero and Feliciano were disclosed and the three claimants established themselves as qualified heirs.<\/p>\n
The DNA disclosure worked against Hollman’s ward Vo Minh Tan, relying on relevant “anecdotal evidence” as provided for in Public Law 10-10 or the Hillblom Bill.<\/p>\n
He is asking the court to postpone decision and hear the disputes arising from the agreement entered into by the guardians.<\/p>\n
Partnership went sour<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, another breach of contract was filed at the Federal Court, this time by Bruce Jorgensen against his former partners and lawyers of the Hillblom heir claimants.<\/p>\n
Jorgensen said he earlier had a verbal agreement with Benjamin Cassiday where he would provide information known to him about Hillblom and will receive due compensation.<\/p>\n
Between 1986 and 1995, he and the late Larry Hillblom became friends which gave him access to the latter’s business dealings and acquaintances.<\/p>\n
Following the fatal crash of Hillblom in 1995, he was approached by Perkins who sought information about is late friend.<\/p>\n
By early 1996, another lawyer named Cassiday, proposed for a joint venture with Perkins and Jorgensen.<\/p>\n
For providing information about Hillblom, he will receive one-third of all the fees.<\/p>\n
After their travel to the Philippines and Vietnam, the partnership turned sour and he was subsequently excluded.<\/p>\n
He is asking for relief from the lost of profit he incurred and will continue to incur and other economic damages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
