$WTI I like what I'm seeing in the sureties case. We are not taking Judge Palermo's ruling that our disclosures of information to the government on this case "waived" our privilege and must be handed over to the defendants!
Our attorneys come out blasting away at the Judge's ruling, citing many examples of case law that show we did not waive such privilege, are protected by "whistleblower" protection laws and rules, and emphasize that we are the *victim* in these proceedings, and have a right and an obligation to consult with the government authorities who can enforce, or help enforce, the law and initiate remedies.
Further, the Judge actually *reversed* a position that she had taken only a day before, after hearing oral arguments from the defendants. Oral arguments which she had stated, in another order, that WOULD NOT be heard at the hearing. We never had the opportunity to respond, and in fact were *ordered* not to respond!
We have a great set of attorneys here.
