<snip>
Since taking office, President Trump has stepped away from running his business empire. But in Florida, a federal judge has handed a legal defeat to the organization that bears his name. He ruled that Trump National Jupiter Golf Club must refund members nearly $6 million.
It's a case that began in 2012 when Trump bought the struggling golf club from Marriott Vacations Worldwide. He paid just $5 million, a bargain price. But as part of the deal, he had to assume some $50 million in debt, money owed to members who put down refundable deposits and now wanted out of the club.
In a letter and a meeting with club members, the company told those who wanted out, they would have to continue to pay annual dues but couldn't use the club. Plus, they wouldn't receive their refunds until new members were found to replace them, a process that might take years.
Disgruntled members said Trump was unfairly changing the rules of their membership contracts and they filed a class action lawsuit. Their lawyer, Brad Edwards, says Trump essentially revoked their memberships while keeping their dues and deposits. Edwards says, "The most important characteristic of a membership is access to the club. Well, there's no doubt that he took away access to the club and, ergo, he took away membership."
