LONG BEACH, Calif., April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a landmark ruling that promises to reshape the landscape of elder care and legal rights in California, Lanzone Morgan, LLP achieved a monumental victory in the California Supreme Court. The unanimous decision in Harrod v. Country Oaks Partners, LLC establishes that executing optional arbitration agreements does not fall within the purview of health care decisions authorized by health care powers of attorney.

Key Points: 
  • It's a bittersweet victory because Mr. Logan didn't get to see his case unfold, but this decision is more significant than just this case.
  • This pivotal case began when 76-year-old Charles Logan, represented by the elder abuse litigation specialists at Lanzone Morgan, LLP, challenged an arbitration agreement Logan's health care agent signed on his behalf.
  • The trial court denied the nursing home's efforts to enforce the arbitration agreement, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal and now affirmed by the California Supreme Court.
  • This California Supreme Court ruling empowers Lanzone Morgan, LLP, and other advocates for elder justice to fight even more effectively for those they serve.

金曜日, 3月 22, 2024

CHICAGO, March 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday, the Illinois Supreme Court issued a decision ruling in favor of project44 in its defamation lawsuit against competitor FourKites, concluding that emails sent to project44's Board of Directors and executives from fake Gmail accounts connected with FourKites were "published" and therefore could be pursued as defamation.

Key Points: 
  • This case began in 2019 when "anonymous" emails were sent to project44 Board members and executives making unfounded allegations of outrageous conduct without any evidence.
  • The emails were tied to phone numbers listed for a FourKites corporate entity and its CEO, Matt Elenjickal.
  • The issue in the case was whether sending these emails to project44's Board and executives was sufficient "publication" under Illinois defamation law.
  • Following the judgment, the case will be remanded back to the trial court with the new legal precedent applied.
