Former partners who lost about $1 million on a Doral project after the housing market collapse came out on the losing side again — this time against the man who’d brought them into the deal in the first place.

Investors Avra Jain, Paul Cashman Murphy and defunct H-H Investments LLC were defendants in a February 2009 suit by former business associate Abraham Cohen, who alleged they owed him more than $4 million for his stake in a failed real estate venture. They lost at trial, and most recently before a state judicial panel, when the Third District Court of Appeal ruled largely in their opponent’s favor on April 19.
