Re: Smugglers notch resort (by Kathy P.):

I don't have complete details (I do not work for the resort nor do I have any interest in this), but the lawsuit grew out of a contract dispute between the resort management and the full owners, i.e., owners of homes in the village that are owned 52 weeks a year. There had been a management contract between the parties that was being renogotiated. However, there was not much progress so the resort management decided to force the issue and terminate the existing contract with something like 18 months notice. I don't think they have been able to come to an agreement on a new contract. The owners have sued the resort saying that they don't have to have an agreement with the resort management but should be able to contract with another party, hence the anti-trust suit. I have no idea how that is progressing--the information is not available as far as I know.

Please understand that this does not affect club owners (1 week owners) or share owners (multi-week owners) as we have a separate management contract that is not part of this dispute.

Hope this helps.
