1st Circuit Court Reverses Attorneys' Fees Award in PROMESA Case

1st Circuit Court Reverses Attorneys' Fees Award in PROMESA Case

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed a district court's decision to award nearly $65,000 in attorneys' fees to plaintiffs who won a case against the Comisión Estatal de Elecciones in Puerto Rico. The reversal is based on the confirmation of Puerto Rico's financial reorganization plan under the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA). The court found that the plaintiffs' claim for attorneys' fees was a post-petition claim against Puerto Rico, which was discharged under the confirmed plan.

Appeals Court Reinstates $656M Judgment Against PLO and Palestinian Authority Following Supreme Court Ruling

Appeals Court Reinstates $656M Judgment Against PLO and Palestinian Authority Following Supreme Court Ruling

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated a $656 million judgment against the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority. This decision follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that supports the claims of Americans who were killed or wounded in attacks in Israel. Initially, the appeals court had dismissed the verdict, arguing that U.S. courts could not adjudicate cases against foreign entities for overseas attacks not directly targeting the United States. However, the Supreme Court's decision last June upheld a 2019 law passed by Congress, allowing these lawsuits to proceed. The plaintiffs, represented by attorneys Kent Yalowitz and Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, have been pursuing justice for over two decades under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1992, which permits U.S. courts to hear cases from victims of international terrorism. The Palestinian authorities have consistently opposed the jurisdiction of American courts in these matters.

Florida Appeals Court Ruling May Reopen Workers' Compensation Claims

Florida Appeals Court Ruling May Reopen Workers' Compensation Claims

A recent decision by a Florida appeals court has reinterpreted a 32-year-old workers' compensation statute, potentially extending the statute of limitations on many injury claims. This ruling could lead to the reopening of numerous cases across the state. The case, known as Estes vs. Palm Beach County School District, involved a teacher injured in 2021. The court found that previous interpretations of the statute were incorrect, allowing for a longer period to file claims. The decision has significant implications for pending and future claims, particularly those involving permanent disability. Legal experts suggest that this could affect hundreds of cases, as the new interpretation allows the statute of limitations to restart one year after the last medical treatment or benefit payment.
