UPDATE 6/16/10

The bar date to file individual proofs of claim in the Taylor Bean bankruptcy passed on June 15 , 2010. We filed a class proof of claim in addition to our adversary complaint in the bankruptcy proceeding. Each seeks to certify a class of all the former employees who were terminated without notice last summer. We are awaiting the decision of the Taylor Bean Bankruptcy Court on whether we may proceed as a class in our adversary proceeding.

UPDATE 5/7/10

On August 10, 2009, Outten & Golden filed suit against Taylor Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corporation, seeking to recover 60 days wages and benefits for former employees of Taylor Bean who we contend were terminated on or about August 5, 2009 in violation of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the WARN Act). On August 24, 2009, Taylor, Bean & Whitaker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida. On the same day, Outten & Golden moved our case to the bankruptcy court. The case is currently pending in the Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida. Outten & Golden is seeking to recover WARN damages for former Taylor Bean employees.

Counsel has requested the Court certify the case as a class action. The parties are engaged in discovery.

Generally, the WARN Act requires companies to provide their employees with 60 days written notice in advance of a mass layoff or plant closing. In the absence of such notice, employers may be liable to each affected employee for 60 days wages and benefits.
