Toyota Stamps Out Bid To Unseal Ex-WilmerHale Temp s Case By By
Frank G. Runyeon Law360 (February 24, 2021, 6:53 PM EST) A Florida state judge on Monday declined to unseal allegations of corruption leveled against Toyota by an ex-WilmerHale temp who worked on an internal document review project related to the automaker s operations in Thailand.
Judge Curt Jacobus found that a motion filed by nonparty Luca Roveda, a self-described member of the press in Thailand, seeking to vacate the court s previous sealing order would need to be thrown out and refiled. According to the judge, Roveda s attorney Tino Gonzales was still technically counsel for former BigLaw attorney and WilmerHale temp Andrew Delaney, the John Doe plaintiff in the case.
