Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Jackson grants a request by an investor for a default judgment of $1,096,160 against a construction company and its owner, on the investor’s claim he was defrauded of his investment in the renovation and resale of property damaged by the Baton Rouge floods of 2016. The investor has met all requirements for a default judgment set by the Fifth Circuit. However, the ruling denies his additional request for an award of up to three times the million-dollar judgment under a state law against unfair and deceptive business practices, as there is no evidence that the Louisiana Attorney General has notified the contractors of the fraud charges against them. Final judgment on treble damages is withheld pending the investor’s declaration of his intentions to pursue the case.
