Jeffrey S. Siegel, a partner at Bruno, Gerbino & Soraino, and Mitchell S. Lustig, an associate at the firm, write: There is, perhaps, no principle more sacrosanct in the field of no-fault law than the "30-day rule" which provides that a no-fault insurer must pay or deny a medical provider's bill within 30 days of receipt. In accord with this rule, a no-fault insurer will be precluded from raising most defenses to a provider's claim, including that of lack of medical necessity, unless the insurer denies the claim within 30 days of receipt of the bill or any request for additional verification. However, the Court of Appeals has carved out an exception to the rule. It is essential that the no-fault practitioner be able to distinguish between those defenses that are precluded unless asserted by the insurer in a timely denial and the "lack of coverage" defenses that are nonwaivable and therefore exempt from the 30-day rule.

Mitchell M. Wong, of counsel at Morrison & Foerster, warns that issuing a cease-and-desist letter is risky for the patentee because the accused party could respond by suing the patentee in a declaratory action. Conversely, an accused party who acts on receipt of a cease-and-desist letter, and brings a declaratory action in an incorrect forum, finds itself with embarrassingly diminished bargaining strength.

Hurling plenty of heat at a team of lawyers once employed by baseball star Barry Bonds, a California appeals court on Monday struck the slugger's prenuptial agreement. The dissenting justice suggested it will create much more work for family law attorneys. That's because the majority adopted a new rule that requires trial courts to "strictly scrutinize" prenups where one party lacked legal representation at the time of signing.
