Bills Would Allow Debt Purchase by Litigants

Despite the relative obscurity of New York's champerty statute, legislative efforts to amend it have ignited a fierce struggle among major players in the state's booming market in domestic and international debt.

Stith v. Prudential Insurance Co. of America

Defendant's decision to discontinue plaintiff's long-term disability benefits, based solely on the conclusory, unsupported, and unexplained opinion of a doctor who never examined her and who overlooked the multiple, credible, contradictory opinions of her treating physicians and the medical records of severe pain associated with the condition from which she indisputably suffered, was not supported by substantial evidence and was arbitrary and capricious; plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is granted.
