Our California HOA with 1317 members has just been notified to appear at a hearing to make comments or express opinions about the status and direction of a telecommunications lawsuit won on appeal by the HOA. Defendants are the original HOA developer and a large telecom company. The suit has been before the court since December 2010, but the court's judgment concerns actions beginning in 2001. Now, our HOA and legal counsel are seeking to drop the class-action nature of this long-standing lawsuit, but they have not shared full details (like the amount of the pending reward), so homeowners are being asked to appear at a public hearing without benefit of discovery of full details. Should we seek and have legal counsel prior to the hearing?

You could start by sending a letter, on behalf of XXX many people, to the HOA and legal counsel (that are planning to drop the class aciton) advising them that homeowners are being asked to appear at a public hearing (to which I presume you all want to go), however, none of you have the benefit of all details. Can they provide details by DATE? (and allowing yourself time to review anything they may send). The HOA and/or legal should respond to you.
