Ind. Law - "Federal Judge slams Bose McKinney's actions in suit, orders it to pay half plaintiff's legal costs"

A lengthy Indianapolis Star story today by Jeff Swiatek begins:

A federal judge has sanctioned the prominent Indianapolis law firm of Bose McKinney Evans for failing to promptly disclose documents while representing an Evansville paint company sued for contaminating a neighbor's property.

Larry J. McKinney, a judge in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis, ruled that the law firm must pay half the neighbor's legal costs. He criticized the firm for having "failed in its responsibility to be candid with the court by making statements in court filings that it knew were misrepresentations at best and false at worst."

This June 10th ILB entry quotes from the 66-page order issued by Judge McKinney on June 5th.
