Lawyer Spared from $1M Sanction Faces $45K Fine
A Pennsylvania Superior Court panel has upheld a fine of almost $45,000 against Philadelphia insurance defense attorney Nancy Raynor, imposed for alleged witness intimidation during a medical-malpractice case that at one point also resulted in a controversial $1 million sanction against her, reports The Philadelphia Inquirer.
A separate judicial overturned the earlier sanction — imposed in 2014 by a lower court — in June.
Reporter Aswin Mannepalli writes that Superior Court judges found Raynor was responsible for the $44,993.25 in legal fees and other expenses incurred by the plaintiff in the malpractice case as a result of Raynor’s actions.
