Right. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of several subcontractors who had been hired by a contractor to work on his condo. He ignored the notices to appear in court because he was trying to avoid acknowledging that had even hired the contractor to do the work on the condominium in question.

He was trying to pretend he never hired the contractor because he knew damn well that his relationship with the contractor would eventually end his career.
