Donald Trump Sued Over Failed Baja Project
March 13, 2009SAN DIEGO -- Donald Trump is being sued by buyers who lost millions of dollars in deposits on a failed hotel-condo on Mexico's Baja California shores.
Attorney Bart Ring said Friday that the 69 buyers he represents purchased 71 units in Trump Ocean Resort Baja. They paid deposits totaling between $18 million and $20 million.
Buyers were told last month that the project was being scrapped and that their deposits would not be returned. The hotel was to be built in Tijuana, just across the border from San Diego.
The 197-page complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court seeks unspecified damages against Trump, his children Ivanka and Donald Jr. and others including Los Angeles developer Irongate Capital Partners LLC.
The lawsuit accuses Trump of fraud, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty.
