Welch v PUC Services, Inc.
N/AOUTCOME: Successful Resolution
US District Court, Western District of Michigan. The Firm was retained to represent 91 plaintiffs/property owners on the North shore of Sugar Island, in the St. Mary's river between the United States ... and Canada. Defendant was a Canadian corporation who operated an old primary waste water treatment plant in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, upstream of plaintiffs' properties. Plaintiffs alleged that the waste water treatment plant was releasing raw sewage and e-coli into the river, contaminating the beaches and shoreline. The Michigan DEQ and the Ontario MoE refused to acknowledge or address the problem--the Chippewa County Health Department, including Dave Martin and Christine Dailey, documented and supported Plaintiffs' theory. Defendants removed the matter to Federal district court for the Western District of Michigan. The defendants raised the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, in that a Canadian Company, operating solely in Canada, should not be subject to United States jurisdiction; the court rejected that argument.
Greenwald v Greenwald
N/AOUTCOME: Voluntary Dismissal, following win on appellate issues
The Firm was retained to defend a tortious interference claim brought by our client's ex-husband. The claim arose from our client's alleged contact with plaintiff's former employer, resulting in p ... laintiff's termination. Prior to the Firm's involvement, the trial court (Oakland County circuit court/Hon. Colleen O'Brien) had already granted plaintiff's motion for summary disposition, leaving open only the issues of damages. Following entry of Judgment in excess of one million dollars against our client, our client filed Bankruptcy (MiED/Hon. Steven Rhodes) to avoid collection and to overcome the trial court's refusal to grant a stay during pendency of the appeal. Following victories in both the Michigan court of appeals and the Michigan supreme court, arguing that plaintiff's own wrongful conduct was a cause in fact of his termination, the matter was set to be re-tried in bankruptcy court. Plaintiff agreed to dismiss his case during trial preparation in bankruptcy court.
State of Michigan/Robinson v Ngai
N/AOUTCOME: Jury Verdict: No Cause for Action
The Firm was retained to defend Ngai in a housing discrimination case. Ngai is an Asian-American woman who owned a home on Belleville Lake, which was for-sale-by-owner. Plaintiff Robinson was an Af ... rican-American woman who wanted to buy the home. During the negotiations, there were several discussions where the parties addressed, in general, age and race. The parties never reached a meaningful agreement to complete the deal. When Ngai refused to reduce the asking price, Robinson alleged housing discrimination on the basis of age and race. Michigan Department of Civil Rights sought to civilly prosecute Ms. Ngai, bringing suit in Wayne County circuit court/Hon. Jeanne Stempien. During the trial, it became clear that the MDoCR investigators were NOT impartial witnesses, but open advocates on behalf of Ms. Robinson.
