NOTE 6 - LEGAL ACTIONS

 

During April 2012, the Company filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court against GeoGreen Biofuels, Inc. and related parties, relating to GeoGreen’s failure to repay $192,000 advanced pursuant to a Bridge Loan Term Sheet. Although litigation is inherently unpredictable, GTII is confident in its position, and intends to pursue the action aggressively. GeoGreen has filed a cross-complaint against the Company and its two officers, the Chief Executive Officer and the President, however the charges against the officers were subsequently dismissed with prejudice. A motion was also passed denying GeoGreen’s motion to strike GTIIs request for punitive damages. The Company has dropped its law suit for the time being.

 

On February 3, 2017, the Company filed suit in Eastern District Federal Court New York against American resource Technologies, Inc., and several directors and officers relating to the Chautauqua County Court Kansas decision nullifying the Agreement. The Company has made several attempts to recover the shares of GTII stock paid to ARUR for the asset acquisition and the various costs and expenses expended by GTII in fulfillment of its obligations under the contract with ARUR. The failure of non-litigation attempts to resolve the matter resulted in filing an action for declaratory judgment in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, case#17-CV-0698. As of this writing the case has not yet been decided.

 

During March 2013, the Company was named in an action pertaining to the 75% working interest in the Ownbey Lease. Subsequent to the Company’s purchase of the assets and the termination of the operator, a mechanics lien was filed against the property claiming approximately $267,000 in fees are due to the previous operator. An action is pending in the District Court of Chautauqua County, Kansas, captioned Aesir Energy, Inc. vs. American Resource Technologies, Inc.; Nancy Ownbey Archer; Jimmy Stephen Ownbey; Robbie Faye Butts; Global Tech Industries Group, Inc. and TTII oil & Gas, Inc. Management intends to vigorously contest AESIR’s claims and, at this point, settlement appears unlikely. It has been presented in the County Court that some of ARUR’s Directors have acted without authorization in this matter, and GTII’s management is assessing how to proceed at this time. No monetary claims have been asserted against GTII or TTII Oil & Gas, Inc. On the 3rd of February 2017, GTII filed an action for declaratory relief in the Eastern District of New York, for the purpose of recovering the costs, expenses and consideration paid to ARUR for the rights and benefits associated with an Oil and Gas transaction entered into between the parties on December 31st, 2012. The action by GTII is predicated on the underlying contract for the sale of the assets of ARUR being vacated by a local Kansas Court on the basis that the company and its officers lacked the authority to enter into the contract. Because of that decision GTII lost all interest in the transaction, their associated benefits and any financial gain that may have been anticipated. Attempts were made to resolve this without litigation but have been unsuccessful. The matter is proceeding accordingly. The Company has made several attempts to recover the shares of GTII, f/k/a TTI stock paid to ARUR for the asset acquisition and the various costs and expenses expended by GTII in fulfillment of its obligations under the contract with ARUR. The failure of non-litigation attempts to resolve the matter resulted in filing an action for declaratory judgment in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, case#17-CV-0698. As of this writing the case has not yet been decided.

 

On December 30, 2016, Global Tech Industries Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, executed a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”), which was signed and closed in Hong Kong, with GoFun Group, Ltd. through its wholly owned subsidiary Go F & B Holdings, Ltd. GoFun Group, Ltd. is a privately held company running a casual dining restaurant business, based in Hong Kong. Subsequent to the agreement being signed, GoFun Group failed to substantially perform under the agreement, including, but not limited to providing audited financials of its assets, making the ongoing payments called for in the agreement, along with other matters that led Global Tech to initiate litigation in the United States. Currently, Global Tech and GoFun are litigating the matter in the U.S District Court for the southern district of New York. As of this writing the case has not yet been decided.
