Mass Joinder Requires Real Joinder

Brown v. Superior Court, No. F073964 (D5 Jan. 30, 2018)

This is a sketchy looking mass joinder case attacking home mortgage trust and servicing practices. It appears that some religious-sounding outfit convinced more than 1,000 homeowners to assign it the right to bring any claims related to their loans, along with a 5 percent interest in the underlying estates. The Ministry then re-assigned all those rights to Plaintiff, who filed an enormous litigation that seeks damages on behalf of everyone.
