Court rejects delay for doctor sued by 29 former patients December 16 2020
David Farley had asked the court for a stay in the civil case while a criminal investigation took place.
The Multnomah County Circuit Court has rejected a motion to stay the civil lawsuit against former West Linn doctor David Farley.
Farley s lawyers asked for the stay or a two-year delay in proceedings of the lawsuit while criminal investigations into alleged sex abuse by Farley took place. According to court records, Farley s attorneys requested the stay because Farley will be required to invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination because the same conduct is at issue in this civil case.
