Federal Judge Sanctions Health Net for E-Mail Discovery Abuse in ERISA Case
U.S. District Judge Faith Hochberg in New Jersey sanctioned Health Net and two related carriers last week in an ERISA case that claims the insurer regularly underpaid insureds for use of out-of-network providers.

Many e-mails were permanently lost due to e-mail retention policies.Discovery Dispute Latest in Battle Over Texas Class Actions
