On April 23, 2010, the Honorable Robert J. Brennan, J.S.C., Morris County, sided with PQA attorney Kathy Waldron and ordered the chiropractor, who is the lead defendant in a 6-year-old suit brought under the New Jersey Insurance Fraud Prevention Act, to reimburse PQA’s insurer client $233,323.39 in legal fees and costs incurred in connection with a motion for partial summary judgment. The Appellate Division had remanded the case for a re-hearing on the summary judgment motion, but granted PQA leave to seek fees on behalf of its client, because of the extraordinary circumstances created by the defendant’s pattern of delay and obfuscation in the litigation.
