A lawyer for the Boca Raton, Fla. property urged a Florida federal court to take action against a proposed class of residents and their lawyers in their contract dispute against the club, saying the claims of mismanagement that led to improper and excess fees and dues, and decreased property values, are “baseless.”

The lawsuit, which was filed in Florida federal court, alleges that the club’s “conduct has resulted in class members paying improper and excess fees/dues and having their property values dramatically decreased.” Lead plaintiff Frank Calmes seeks to represent himself and the approximately 3,000 club residents.
