    Case Number: 17-1513

    The court rejected defendants attempt to strike plaintiffs agency claims for failure to identify defendants actual or ostensible agents by name while also warning the defense bar that the persistent pursuit of such an argument regarding the pleading of agency claims can only serve to delay the progress of litigation and needlessly increase defense costs. The court overruled defendants preliminary objections.
