The Superior Court has set aside summary judgment for defendants in a business dispute plagued with discovery delays.
A unanimous three-judge panel ruled September 26 that the entry of summary judgment against the plaintiff in Yampolsky, Mandeloff, Silver, Ryan & Co. v. Economou was not supported by the record. The decision overturns Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Leon W. Tucker’s ruling, which determined that plaintiffs counsel’s actions during discovery constituted contempt and reason to dismiss the case.
