Arguments by Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. that the $11 million verdict in favor of its fired whistleblowing general counsel, Sanford Wadler, should be reversed or vacated on appeal were called laughable in Wadler’s latest brief.

Wadler’s attorneys, from San Francisco’s Kerr & Wagstaffe, filed the reply brief late Friday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Firm co-founder James Wagstaffe leads Wadler’s legal team and partner Michael von Loewenfeldt authored the brief.  Wadler’s lawyers did not immediately return calls seeking comment on the case that just won’t seem to end.
