Ever wonder what value there is in parties participating in post-judgment mediation? After all, a judgment has been entered in favor of one side so “why should I mediate; I already won?!?”
In an earlier post I wrote about “mid-judgment mediation” in the litigation involving Ron Perelman and Morgan Stanley & Co. Now that the jury awarded him $850 million in punitive damages, in addition to the $604.3 million dollar compensatory award, Morgan Stanley has said it will appeal.
Why discuss settlement? According to this Associated Press article there are several reasons both sides should consider it. Hmmm!
