Dutch Height
Jerry Hoff is the lawyer of the Association of Stockholders. The VEB came billion settlement agreed for Fortis misled investors.
“This could be the week of the marathon session. Five days in court. The past weeks had been tropics weeks for me, my team and my companion Jacob Cornegoor. We had written a pleading of 175 pages. We, a Haarlem office, across eleven South Axis Offices: Allen & amp; Overy, NautaDutilh, you name it. David against Goliath. “
” As a lawyer, this is the time where you live there. I’ve been monomaniac doing. Compare it to a professional athlete: now I have to put my performance on the mat. Let’s see what you can. It was an attack on your physical condition. “Bury them” the tactics of the party; bury them under the material.
“This morning very early, at the twilight of the day, I got the message that there was suitable. Then I said to my wife: we can turn again to us “
Dazed .
“I’m still a bit dazed. A little exhausted. Seven and a half years I worked on this case. The settlement feels like euphoria. A billion is still a magical boundary. At six hundred million would not be. Here I worked seven and a half years and then you see silvered be it: this is my finest hour “
” I suspected. Ageas is pleased too, and the other offices. The guiding principle will be: now I can close the case. They can pass. Without settlement process had perhaps dragged on for years. It also costs a lot.
“This is not a gift, this € 1.2 billion. Shell for € 300 million. This is the largest settlement in Dutch history. But whether it is enough? That’s a very difficult question. My leitmotiv is: the customer is satisfied? I am satisfied
War Color
‘We have not sat at the negotiating table. I can not sit in a fighting mode, 175 pages drafting pleadings and then negotiate yet. I was focused on my plea. Of course keep in mind that there is a willingness to compromise.
“It is a euphoric moment, but it also has something dubbelslachtigs. I had war paint all painted up. Everything was ready. For battle. Misleading reports, knowingly sketched an unbalanced picture of subprime, I think the other parties are aware that Fortis would have come away with this. And vacuum is all liquid.
Wine
” But professional disappointment, because I can get over it. And maybe I have the temerity to ask me a bad time or there would not have been in for the shareholders. “
‘Today is the day after . Tonight I open a good bottle of wine and then I will myself another reel off the film of the last seven and a half years. But now the sun shines. I’m going to take a walk! “
