The short version

David Ovadia is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Oct 2024: Guardian Metal Resources PLC (London, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) — industry reported as "Other" — 2024; $1.85M reported sold to 6 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2024. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside J.T. Starzecki (1 shared filing), Mark Billing (1 shared filing), Mark Burnett (1 shared filing) and Oliver Friesen (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around David. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 7 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 8 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts; live RECAP re-check pending. State courts: not yet searched. PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:57 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not yet searched. No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.
