Attorney fees owed to Cozen O’Connor for representing U.S. Rep. Bob Brady in a challenge to oust the Philadelphia Democrat from the 2007 mayoral primary ballot are different from other debt typically incurred by a campaign — meaning Brady’s campaign should not be bound by city campaign finance limits in raising money to pay those fees — Stephen A. Cozen of Cozen O’Connor argued before the Commonwealth Court Tuesday.
And even if the legal expenses are like other types of debt, the campaign should be exempt from contribution limits now that Brady lost the primary race and is no longer a candidate, Cozen argued in an appeal of a Philadelphia judge’s ruling that found the firm lacked standing to argue a third party should be exempt from the city law.
