A federal magistrate has recommended about 1,000 former employees of attorney David Stern’s foreclosure processing company be allowed to sue a class in a lawsuit claiming they were not given the 60 days’ notice required by federal law when the attorney virtually shut down DJSP Enterprises amid scandal.
U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro in Miami will review the report and make a final decision whether the lawsuit against Stern, DJSP and associated entities will move forward as a class action. She ruled in April that former employees could sue Stern personally under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification law, which requires 60 days’ notice before large layoffs.
