A personal injury case ended in a mistrial eight days into trial when the judge discovered the plaintiff’s attorney’s license had been suspended for failing to pay his annual registration fee and submit the requisite paperwork.
In DiSalvio v. Cream-O-Land Dairy, Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Lisa M. Rau issued an order Oct. 29 declaring a mistrial because plaintiffs counsel, Steven M. Mezrow of Pansini & Mezrow in Philadelphia, “did not disclose his administrative suspension to this court, opposing counsel or his clients at any point prior to or during the trial until this court raised the issue today.”
