by Gerry June 21, 2022

Contempt Motion settlement

It's probably just a coincidence but,you do have to wonder if Lower Merion School District's decision to settle a more than six-years-old lawsuit filed by Arthur Wolk might have had something to do with a hearing that Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Haaz had scheduled for August 3, 2022.  Had the district and Wolk not settled the lawsuit that Wolk originally filed on … [Read more...] about Did Scheduling of Contempt Hearing Expedite Wolk Settlement?
