Former Prudential Life Insurance employees have lost a bid to remove a special master from their suit accusing the company of bribing their lawyers to keep their employment claims out of court. A New Jersey appellate court denied an emergent interlocutory appeal of the appointment of former U.S. Magistrate Judge William Hunt to oversee discovery. The plaintiffs' arguments included an objection to Hunt's $77,265 bill for his first three weeks, which they called a "princely sum," equal to about half a judge's annual salary.
