Attorneys report progress being made in BCI lawsuit
Attorneys for both sides in the lawsuit that Allan Block brought against Block Communications Inc. told visiting Judge Jonathan P. Hein that progress is being made on certain aspects of discovery, and an October trial date is still within reach. Initially calling Monday's proceedings a settlement hearing, Judge Hein encouraged the 11 lawyers in the room to continue talking. Robert S. Faxon, an attorney for BCI, was quick to chime in, commenting he thought the day’s hearing was a follow-up to the May 24 case management conference. Judge Hein said he needed to know if a fall trial date was unlikely, as the time left for the court to classify the lawsuit as a “complex case” was ticking away. If classified as a complex case, the time for a resolution would increase from 18 to 36 months. Both sides agreed they had been talking and had set a window “going back approximately one year” for producing documents. They were attempting to ensure the number of documents entered into evidence is “not too voluminous,” Mr. Faxon said.
