Jurors To Hear About Whistleblower s Lost Texts, Judge Says
Law360 (June 1, 2021, 7:07 PM EDT) A Pennsylvania federal judge said during a hearing Tuesday that potential jurors in a False Claims Act case against Gilead Sciences Inc. would have to be told about the tens of thousands of text messages that, inadvertently or not, were deleted from a whistleblower s cell phones.
While Gilead and attorneys for whistleblower Chris Purcell bitterly dispute whether the nearly 73,000 deletions were a result of intentional conduct, Judge Mark Kearney said during the hearing in Philadelphia that the issue would no doubt be brought up during the course of a potential trial in the case.
A Pennsylvania federal judge will slam the brakes on proceedings in an ERISA suit against Universal Health Services Inc. after the hospital chain's workers submit a few more court filings, agreeing with Universal that a pause is needed while the Third Circuit considers whether granting class certification was warranted.
