The SL Commercial Litigation Team is representing a mid-sized court reporting firm in a business dispute following a failed merger of equals. The suit, which has claims and counterclaims sounding in contract, equity, and business tort, has been pending for nearly four (4) years.
SL Partners, Kimberly Slaven-Hauth, Esq. and Jordan Shaw, Esq. filed a motion seeking sanctions, after the Plaintiff, Patricia Bailey-Entin, former owner of Bailey and Associates Reporting, Inc., refused to sit for deposition. Broward Circuit Judge, David Haimes, referred the motion to a Special Magistrate—Retired Eleventh Circuit Complex Business Court Judge, Alan Fine.
In his Report and Recommendation, Judge Fine recommended the imposition of $12,000 in sanctions against Bailey-Entin.
