The Philadelphia-area attorney hit with a nearly $1 million sanction that was later overturned has begun to move toward a cause of action against the attorneys who pursued the sanction.

Medical malpractice defense attorney Nancy Raynor filed a praecipe to issue a writ of summons earlier this week against three attorneys and two law firms involved in the case that led to the unusually large sanction. The filing indicates that Raynor is preserving claims regarding wrongful use of civil process, and she is seeking recovery of more than $50,000.
