The Number of HOA Appellate Cases grows over the past 5 years

A survey of the number of appellate HOA lawsuits was taken from the files available on Lexis-Nexis. Six states were initially looked at: AZ, MD, VA - the small states -- and CA, FL and TX - the large states. Not surprising, the percentage of cases has grown for 5 of the 6 states, and overall, with California showing a huge jump in cases. Florida shows a minor drop.

As I wrote the California Law Review Commission in March 2005, what makes you think the future will be any different? Steps must be taken to introduce a democratic form of government, with the protections of rights afforded to the people that is inherent in our system of government, and sorely lacking in the state approved and recognized private homeowner association governments.
