Marshall Dennehey's Appellate Attorneys Convince Superior Court to Vacate $39 Million Judgment Against Client.
Our appellate attorneys were retained shortly before trial. While driving our client's truck, an employee struck a car from behind that had stopped in the middle of the road after its hood flew open. The collision injured three members of a family and killed a six-year-old child. The Superior Court vacated the judgment and remanded for a new trial on the basis that the trial judge had improperly granted summary judgment to several vehicle repair shops, all of whom knew of but failed to repair the condition that made the car's hood fly open.
Jury Agrees Plaintiff Does Not Have Asbestosis
Asbestos and Mass Tort Litigation
Obtained a defense verdict after a two-week jury trial. The 64-year-old plaintiff contended that he developed asbestosis, which required him to use oxygen 24 hours a day, as a result of working with welding rods while working as a welder throughout his career. The defense presented evidence that welding rods do not release free respirable asbestos fibers and that working with welding rods does not expose the welder to asbestos.
Amicus Curiae Brief Supports Reversal of Multimillion Dollar Verdict
Marshall Dennehey's appellate attorneys filed an amicus curiae brief for the Pennsylvania Defense Institute in a case in which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unanimously upheld the reversal of a multimillion dollar verdict against an electric company on the basis that the plaintiff had not satisfied the "retained control" exception to the general rule of non-liability for independent contractors. The decision resulted in a judgment notwithstanding the verdict for the electric company. Nertavich v. PPL Electric Utilities, No.
Defense Prevails on Every Level in Product Liability Action
Obtained summary judgment on behalf of a large Japanese equipment manufacturer in a catastrophic brain injury case in a product liability action in Pennsylvania. A front-end loader was being operated on a public highway and proceeded to make a left turn while a vehicle operated by a co-defendant was attempting to pass it on the left. The passing vehicle struck the raised bucket of the front-end loader, sheering off the top of the vehicle, causing significant skull shattering and loss of brain tissue to the plaintiff, a front seat passenger in the vehicle, which resulted in profoun
Unanimous Defense Verdict in Bucks County Property Litigation Case
Obtained a unanimous jury verdict after a four-week trial in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The plaintiffs' demand never moved from $9 million throughout the trial. The plaintiff family (mother, father and adult daughter) claimed that their house was contaminated by a common disinfectant solution with the same active chemical composition as Chloraseptic throat spray. The product was applied during a water mitigation by a contractor referred by their homeowners' insurance company.

LEXIS 1682 (Pa., July 19, 2017).
The Pennsylvania Superior Court, sitting en banc, vacated a $14.5 million verdict and remanded for a new trial based upon the erroneous admission of expert testimony and prejudicial statements by opposing counsel. Nelson v. American Standard, et al., 2014 Pa. Super. 286 (Pa. Super., December 23, 2014)(en banc), appeal denied, (Pa., June 21, 2017).
In a case in which John filed an amicus curiae brief for the ASPCA, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court struck down regulations of the Department of Agriculture that permitted commercial dog breeders to restrict nursing mothers' access to exercise areas and use wire flooring in their cages. The Commonwealth Court held that the Department lacked authority to pass regulations that violated Pennsylvania's Dog Law. Keith v. Commonwealth ex rel. Pa. Dep't of Agric., 151 A.3d 687, 689 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2016).

By a vote of 6-0, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed a judgment as a matter of law for John's clients, a Pennsylvania police department and a police officer, and held that police owe neither a statutory nor a common law duty to unknown passengers in fleeing vehicles.

The Pennsylvania Fraternal Order of Police, The Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association, the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Municipal League, and the Pennsylvania Association of Boroughs joined together as amici curiae to support John's position in the Supreme Court. Sellers v. Township of Abington et al., 2014 Pa. Lexis. 3463 (December 29, 2014).
By a vote of 7-0, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court reversed the Superior Court and the trial court and ruled that John's client, a general contractor, was immune from suit under Pennsylvania's statutory employer doctrine. The ruling nullified a large verdict against the general contractor. Twenty-one construction and insurance industry groups joined together as amici to support John's appeal to the Supreme Court.

In its second ruling in the case in two years, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unanimously affirmed the Superior Court's reversal of a trial court finding that an insurer was not prejudiced by the insured's failure to report a phantom vehicle within the 30-day time limit set forth in the Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law, 75 Pa.C.S.A. 1702. The Supreme Court held that an insured reasonably can be expected to alert the insurer of the phantom vehicle within a month's time and, while an insurer cannot deny coverage absent prejudice cause by late notice, showing such prejudice does not require proof of what the insurer would have found had timely notice been provided. Vanderhoff v. Harleysville Insurance Co., 2013 Pa. Lexis 2581 (Pa. 2013).
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting en banc and deciding an issue of first impression, held that a school district and its assistant principal were properly granted summary judgment because students' allegations of bullying against other students did not establish a special relationship or state-created danger that must exist before a constitutional duty to protect arose under Fourteenth Amendment. Morrow v. Balaski, 719 F.3d 160 (3d Cir. 2013).
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals held that, even if medical treatment provided to a prisoner constitutes medical malpractice, it does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution unless it results from deliberate indifference to the prisoner's rights. Positano v. Wetzel, 2013 U.S. App. LEXIS 14020 (3d Cir. 2013).

Seebold v. Prison Health Servs., Inc., 57 A.3d 1232 (Pa. 2013).
The Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed a trial court's transfer of venue under the doctrine of forum non conveniens, the first such decision by a Pennsylvania appellate court in nine years. Stoner v. Penn Kleen, 2012 Pa. Super. 218, 2012 Pa.Super. LEXIS 2932 (Pa. Super. 2012).
In a case of first impression, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a putative class action against John's client, a national manufacturer of automobile anti-theft systems, and held that the client was not liable under the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act, which permits a broad array of damages for violations of any federal or state consumer protection law, because its warranty did not violate any clearly established right under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. McGarvey v. Penske Auto Group, Inc., et al., 2012 U.S. App. Lexis 13450 (July 2, 2012).
In the first Pennsylvania decision addressing the recoverability of attorneys' fees on a jury's award of future medical expenses under the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error (MCARE) Act, the Court held that such fees are paid out of, not in addition to, the award of future medical expenses, after reduction to present value. This ruling substantially reduced the value of a claim against John's client. Sayler v. Skutches, 2012 PA Super 23, 2012 Pa. Super. LEXIS 25 (Pa. Super., February 6, 2012).

Edkin v. Brethren Mutual Insurance Co., 1331 MDA 2009 (Pa. Super., February 4, 2011).
The Pennsylvania Superior Court vacated an adverse jury verdict and remanded for a new trial in favor of John's client, one of the world's leading construction firms, in its claim for contractual indemnity. Skanska USA Buildings, Inc. v. Gory Mechanical Contractors, 345 EDA 2010 (Pa. Super., January 19, 2011).
In a decision reconciling two conflicting lines of cases, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a district court ruling that John's client, an insurer, had a duty to defend a lawsuit claiming that the intoxicated insured assaulted and attempted to kill the plaintiff before taking his own life. The central issue in the case was whether and to what extent allegations of intoxication can convert otherwise intentional conduct into an accident for purposes of securing insurance coverage. Addressing "tension" in the existing case law, the Court reasoned in its published decision that Pennsylvania public policy forbids the extension of insurance coverage to obviously intentional conduct and that allegations of intoxication can create a duty to defend only when the allegations indicate that the insured was so intoxicated that he lacked conscious awareness of his actions or lacked the ability to form intent. State Farm Fire & Casualty Co v. The Estate of Thomas Mehlman, 589 F.3d 105 (3d Cir., 2009).
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the judgment of the federal district court and upheld the dismissal of all claims against John's client, a law firm, on the basis that the plaintiff's claims were barred by the statute of limitations and the doctrine of collateral estoppel.

Crystal Lake Camps v. Alford, 923 A.2d 482 (Pa. Super. 2007).
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the judgment of the federal district court and upheld the dismissal of the plaintiff's claims against John's clients, attorneys and their law firm, on the basis that the plaintiff had failed to prove the necessary element of causation. My Le Duong v. Nationwide Ins. Co., 2006 U.S. App. LEXIS 27617 (3d Cir. 2006).
The Pennsylvania Superior Court vacated a large verdict against John's client and remanded for a new trial on the basis that the jury should have been allowed to consider whether the plaintiff's claims were barred by the statute of limitations. Urbach v. Kentile, Inc., et al., 915 A.2d 159 (Pa. Super. 2006), appeal denied, 2007 Pa. LEXIS 1351 (Pa. 2007).
In the first comprehensive appellate decision interpreting Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1042.3-1042.6, Pennsylvania's tort reform measure intended to increase the threshold of merit for professional liability actions, the Pennsylvania Superior Court reversed the ruling of the trial court and remanded for the entry of judgment as a matter of law in favor of John's client, a physician, based upon the plaintiff's failure to file a certificate of merit in support of his medical malpractice claim. O'Hara v. Randall, 879 A.2d 240 (Pa. Super. 2005).

The Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed the ruling of the trial court and held that the plaintiff was not entitled to retry her claims against John's client, a hospital. Stalsitz v. Allentown Hospital, 814 A.2d 766 (Pa. Super. 2004).
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the judgment of the federal district court and dismissed the plaintiff's civil rights claims on the basis that John's clients, county officials, were entitled to absolute immunity from liability for actions taken in their official capacities. Laverdure v. County of Montgomery, 324 F.3d 123 (3d Cir. 2003).
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed the judgment of the federal district court and ruled that an ordinance passed by John's client, a Pennsylvania municipality, did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution. Philadelphia Owners Association v. City of Philadelphia et al, 57 Fed. Appx. 961 (3d Cir. 2003).
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court reversed two lower courts and awarded a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, erasing a substantial judgment against John's client, a professional corporation, on the basis that the plaintiff's res ipsa loquitur theory of liability was invalid as a matter of law. Toogood v. Rogal, 824 A.2d 1140 (Pa. 2003).
In the first appellate decision interpreting and applying Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1006(a.1), Pennsylvania's tort reform measure involving venue, the Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed the ruling of the trial court and held that the plaintiff's medical malpractice action against John's client, a physician, must be transferred out of Philadelphia County. Connor v. Crozer Keystone Health Sys., 832 A.2d 1112 (Pa. Super. 2003).

Johnson v. Vanguard Manufacturing, 34 Fed. Appx. 858 (3d Cir. 2002).
The Pennsylvania Superior Court reversed the ruling of the trial court and awarded a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, erasing a substantial judgment against John's client, a hospital, on the basis that, although the plaintiff had adduced some evidence to support her claims, the evidence was not sufficient to establish a prima facie case of negligence. Van Zandt v. Holy Redeemer Hospital, 806 A.2d 809 (Pa. 2002).

TAIZ, Yemen (Reuters) – Its books have been looted and walls blown out, but a school in war-torn southern Yemen is hopeful that the resumption of regular salary payments can keep teachers and children in classrooms.
"In the past few months things have stabilized, teachers' salaries have begun to be paid, and hopefully things will continue this way," said Hoda Naged Useid, the head of the Arwa school in Yemen's third-largest city, Taiz.
The government-held city, surrounded to the north by Houthi forces, has been at the center of an almost four-year war pitting the Iranian-aligned Houthi movement against a Saudi-led coalition trying to restore the internationally recognized Yemeni government.
The Houthis, who seized the capital Sanaa in 2014 and hold most urban centers, say their revolution is against corruption.
In Taiz buildings and homes have been looted and damaged, Useid said, but people are nevertheless returning due to a de-escalation of fighting amid UN-led peace efforts.
"If salaries are paid regularly and as they were previously, things will get better," Useid said. Arwa's teachers had previously been volunteering without pay.
Yemen's central bank, split into two rival head offices, has struggled to pay public sector wages as foreign exchange reserves dwindle.
The war and ensuing economic collapse has left 15.9 million people – 53 percent of the population – facing severe hunger and struggling to access basic goods and services.
Yemen's warring parties agreed last month on a peace deal in the Red Sea port of Hodeidah, and the two sides agreed to set up a committee to establish humanitarian corridors to Taiz. No progress has been made yet, however.
Displacement, poverty and forced conscription have disrupted Yemeni children's education.
"Because of the destruction in the schools, some of the students headed to the frontlines," said Ibtisam Dael, a teacher at Arwa school.
Fighting since 2015, when the Sunni Muslim Arab coalition intervened in the civil war, has left many schools in ruins.
"There is nowhere to play in the school," said 16-year old Hamas Mansour in front of a pile of broken and twisted desks in an outdoor space where children should have been milling around.
Whole sections of Arwa school are unusable and all books, equipment and chairs have been stolen, Useid said. Until September, the children were using a nearby mosque to study in.
"We were determined to return to our school … and we began clearing the rubble," she said, hopeful that more pupils would join the 700 already there.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – In front of a crowd of 17,385, J Jaggers, a senior on the Ohio State wrestling team, secured his place in Buckeye wrestling history, becoming just the third student-athlete to win two national titles. Jaggers won his second-consecutive crown in the 141-pound division at the 2009 NCAA Wrestling Championships at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo.
In one of the tightest team races in recent NCAA wrestling history, Ohio State earned its second-consecutive runner-up finish with 92 points, trailing Iowa, who locked up its second-consecutive crown with 96.5 points. Iowa State finished third with 80.5 points, while Nebraska and Cornell took fourth (78.5) and fifth (73.5), respectively. The 2009 national championships attracted an NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships all-time total attendance record with 97, 111 people in attendance over six sessions.
Buckeye head coach Tom Ryan was named National Coach of the Year following the championships. His honor comes just three days after Ohio State assistant Lou Rosselli was named NWCA Assistant Coach of the Year.
Jaggers captured his second-consecutive title at 141 pounds, downing No. 8 Ryan Williams of Old Dominion, 10-4. Following his strategy of striking quick and often, the Northfield, Ohio, native jumped ahead, 6-2, on three first-period takedowns. After two stanzas, the score stood at 6-3 before Jaggers recorded a final takedown and earned riding time for the win.
Jaggers becomes only the third Buckeye to win two NCAA titles, joining Tommy Rowlands (2002 and '04 NCAA heavyweight champion) and Kevin Randleman (1992 and '93 NCAA champion at 177). He ends his senior campaign with a 28-7 ledger and completes his career with a 108-33 record.
In a repeat of the Big Ten 133-pound title match, Ohio State's second-seeded Reece Humphrey met No. 1-seed Franklin Gomez of Michigan State in the NCAA title bout. As he did at the league championships, Gomez took a close match from Humphrey, a 5-4 decision in favor of the Spartan. The match was scoreless until the second period with Gomez posting an escape and takedown while Humphrey got on the board with an escape to make it, 3-1, after two. Gomez moved the score to 5-2 with a takedown before Humphrey began a counterattack. The Indianapolis, Ind., native scored a late takedown to make it a one-point contest but the Buckeye ran out of time, dropping the 5-4 decision. Humphrey ends his junior season, earning his first All-America honor, as a runner-up, while compiling a 30-4 record.
Junior Mike Pucillo made his run to defend his 2008 national title all the way to the final bout, but fell, 6-3, to Northwestern's undefeated No. 1 seed and 2007 NCAA champion, Jake Herbert. Herbert, who ends his senior season with a 34-0 record, took an early lead with two takedowns in the first, but Pucillo closed within one, 4-3, from three escapes heading into the third. With the riding time in favor of the Wildcats, Pucillo worked to get two points but Herbert was on the defense, ultimately taking the match, 6-3. The Strongsville, Ohio, native completes his junior campaign with a 23-2 record.

ESO is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organisation in Europe and the world's most productive ground-based astronomical observatory by far. It has 16 Member States: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, along with the host state of Chile and with Australia as a Strategic Partner. ESO carries out an ambitious programme focused on the design, construction and operation of powerful ground-based observing facilities enabling astronomers to make important scientific discoveries. ESO also plays a leading role in promoting and organising cooperation in astronomical research. ESO operates three unique world-class observing sites in Chile: La Silla, Paranal and Chajnantor. At Paranal, ESO operates the Very Large Telescope and its world-leading Very Large Telescope Interferometer as well as two survey telescopes, VISTA working in the infrared and the visible-light VLT Survey Telescope. Also at Paranal ESO will host and operate the Cherenkov Telescope Array South, the world's largest and most sensitive gamma-ray observatory. ESO is also a major partner in two facilities on Chajnantor, APEX and ALMA, the largest astronomical project in existence. And on Cerro Armazones, close to Paranal, ESO is building the 39-metre Extremely Large Telescope, the ELT, which will become "the world's biggest eye on the sky".
The Royal Observatory Greenwich is home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian and one of the most important historic scientific sites in the world.

What is the source of my father's Hebrew name? It is כלאוונא
I am going getting a GET from my wife and the Rabbi asked for my father's Hebrew name. I told him it was כלאוונא, the same as my great-grandfather. The rabbi said he had never heard of the name. After some research, we found it mentioned in the Talmud without any explanation we could understand. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks.

Isaac Moses♦
Mark CantorMark Cantor
Mark Cantor, welcome to Mi Yodeya! Where did you see this name in the Talmud? Please edit the source into your question; that would make it a great deal easier for people to investigate it.
– Isaac Moses ♦
How do you pronounce that name? Shouldn't you give the GET to your wife, not you getting a GET from her?
– Reb Chaim HaQoton
This question has two close votes for being "off-topic, Hebrew." I don't agree -- it asks for the meaning of a specific Jewish name in the context of Judaism.
Please edit your sources, including as much bibliographical information as you can, into your question.
Explanatory note to supplement @IsaacMoses' -- it's a good idea to edit the gemaras where the name appears as well as its pronunciation into the question, because [1] those are important pieces of information [2] comments are less visible (and they don't last forever), questions do.
This appears in the Talmud in Nazir 7a. It is a combination of two word, כל meaning all or each and אוונא which means a region or section of land. It appears in a very technical discussion about taking a Nazarite vow which was given a term equivalent to a distance to another location. The term אוונא refers to a standard for measuring land.
From the discussions in the sefarim you link to (which are about names for a Get) it is not related to that discussion, rather it is a name associated with the Hebrew names of Lapidus or Saadia.
YishaiYishai
I am not sure this explains the meaning of the name though.
– Sarge
It's not about the GET, we have wanted to know more about this Jewish name for some time. He died before his 9 children had children, so they named the first male of each of his children's children with the name כלאוונא
– Mark Cantor
@MarkCantor, My only point was that it is in the context of a Get that such names get attention in Jewish books.
– Yishai
@Sarge, I couldn't really find much about that, but that part of the question really goes off-topic, IMO. Jewishly, it is the foreign language name that substitutes for one of those two Hebrew names. Why people connected to either of those names, I don't know.
You may want to remove this answer, as it is based on a typo.
– Adám
Although it is not a common name, even in the Talmud, it is mentioned in Oholei Shem under כלאוונא where he says look at חלוונא. Looking further in Oholei Shem I can not find חלוונא. However in Kuntras Hasheimos Hachadash - note 13 & 14 he mentions a connection to Lapidus and Saadya.
The name does exist as you can see from this Lzecher Nishmas.
Gershon GoldGershon Gold
The Aruch Hashulchan In Even Haezer 129 which discusses the names and spellings has this name by the letter ח and he goes through the spelling,and the name itself.
Im not sure what "he goes through the spelling,and the name itself" means.
The Aruch Hashulchan does that for all names in the section of names regarding gitten,he goes through the correct spelling.
