The plaintiffs’ counsel in a hotly contested Philadelphia asbestos case has amended a portion of his post-trial motion that originally alleged the verdict sheet in the case was developed because of alleged ex parte contact by the defense lawyers with the leadership of Philadelphia’s civil courts.
Robert E. Paul, of Paul, Reich & Myers in Philadelphia, said in amended post-trial motions filed March 22 that the defendants in Webber v. 3B Products sought to “intimidate” Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Senior Judge Esther R. Sylvester by writing to Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge John W. Herron, the administrative judge of the trial division, and Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Sandra Mazer Moss, about their motion to recuse Sylvester and also by asking Sylvester to adopt a proposed verdict sheet used by Herron when he tried an asbestos case.
