"Shouldn't we look at the language, instead of the labels that are attached?" Chief Justice Stuart Rabner asked. "And the language says ... you cannot have a provision in a settlement agreement that has the purpose or effect of concealing the details relating to a claim of discrimination, retaliation or harassment. That is against public policy. That is unenforceable."

"The panel now permits a firm who is seeking financial information to establish punitive damages to also represent the very person at the defendant who was the highest ranking financial officer who was charged with litigation strategy and the production of the financial documents," Counsel for Care One, Bruce H.

Edelstein of Costello & Mains, said.

"Judges are certainly not above criticism," said former U.S. District Court Judge Paul W. Grimm. "But typically, what you say is that the decision is wrong, we will appeal, and we think an appellate court will reverse it.
