Court date set in Trendic suit against OPA

(Jan. 23, 2020) The lawsuit filed by former Ocean Pines Association Board member Slobodan Trendic is moving forward after a hearing date of March 25 was announced on Tuesday.

This action follows the OPA legal counsel filing a motion to dismiss in Worcester County Circuit Court on Jan. 10.

Trendic filed suit on Nov. 15  in response to the OPA Board of Directors’ rejection in August of a petition containing more than 800 signatures.

Trendic, who is represented by attorney Bruce Bright, is seeking up to $75,000 in compensatory damages from the association’s board of directors for legal fees following a referendum drive campaign launched in April seeking to amend the OPA bylaws to require the board to conduct a membership vote to approve any single capital expenditure over $1 million.

The hearing is scheduled at 9:30 a.m. in Worcester Circuit Court in Snow Hill.
