Represented Not-For-Profit in Settlement Dispute
Represented a not-for-profit client in a complaint brought in Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court regarding funds paid to the client as part of an earlier settlement. The client and its board of directors were sued by a Pennsylvania state agency alleging the funds had not been spent or loaned out in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement. On initial motions, the Court determined that the matter should be treated as an original jurisdiction complaint as opposed to an action to enforce the agency’s earlier decision, resulting in a more favorable evidentiary standard for the client.
