Court Found No Wrongdoing by Lynn Stockwell; Judgment Imposed Joint and Several Liability Due to Counsel’s Failure
Cibola County, New Mexico, Jan. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bright Green Corporation (OTC: BGXXQ) and its Chief Executive Officer, Lynn Stockwell, today announced the filing of a landmark lawsuit seeking damages in excess of $3 billion against Rodey Law Firm and Attorneys’ Liability Assurance Society (ALAS). The complaint, filed in the Thirteenth Judicial District Court of New Mexico, alleges legal malpractice, breach of contract, and bad faith breach of fiduciary duty.
The underlying litigation resulted in findings of no wrongdoing by Lynn Stockwell. Despite this, the court imposed joint and several liability, including a $104.5 million judgment against Lynn Stockwell personally, due to Rodey’s failure to introduce SEC Form S-1, a dispositive federal filing, during critical stages of litigation. This omission allowed the opposing party’s consolidation theory to stand unchallenged without legal authority, leading to catastrophic damage and future business losses exceeding $3 billion.
“The court found no wrongdoing on my part, yet I was held jointly and severally liable because our counsel failed to use the most critical evidence proving the defendant was never an employee and that Bright Green Corporation had no agreements for compensation or stock without a shovel-ready lease assignable from an unrelated corporation,” said Lynn Stockwell. “Had Rodey followed explicit instructions and introduced SEC Form S-1, the outcome would have been entirely different.”
Key Allegations
- Failure to Use Dispositive Evidence: Rodey ignored explicit client directives to use SEC Form S-1, a sworn federal filing proving corporate separateness in the declaratory judgment case. The judge adopted the defendant’s proposed findings wholesale, setting the law of the case based on consolidation of unrelated companies.
- Expert Testimony Undermined: Rodey failed to provide SEC Form S-1 to the securities expert, leaving him unable to answer critical questions. The judge rejected his testimony entirely.
- Bad Faith by ALAS: Rodey and ALAS, Rodey’s professional liability insurer, acted in bad faith by refusing to disclose policy limits, ignoring settlement opportunities, and failing to mitigate foreseeable harm despite clear liability.
- These failures resulted in catastrophic damage, including a $104.5M judgment and over $3B in future business losses.
Relief Sought
- Compensatory damages exceeding $3 billion
- Punitive damages for gross negligence and bad faith
- Costs, attorneys’ fees, and interest as allowed by law
