Lone Pine orders are important in complex lawsuits, requiring plaintiffs to show key evidence early on. In the recent Taxotere MDL case, the court upheld such an order, asking plaintiffs to prove they had chemotherapy-induced hair loss with expert diagnoses. Some plaintiffs argued this was unfair, especially for those who had passed away, but the court disagreed, saying these orders help identify weak cases and keep things fair. You can learn more about the case in this post by Eric Friedman and Tom Prible for the “Faegre Drinker on Products” blog.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Cunningham v. Cornell University, a case where the plaintiffs accused Cornell of mishandling their retirement plans by allowing excessive fees and selecting poor-performing investment options. This case could have a significant impact on how we understand fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA. A key question also at play: Is a "prohibited transaction" considered a valid claim under ERISA? In this edition of Thinking ESOPs, Rick Pearl discusses this important issue — which courts and parties seem to have overlooked — and its impact on ESOPs.

A Florida court dismissed a pending False Claims Act case on the grounds that the whistleblower provisions of the FCA are unconstitutional under the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Although the case has no direct precedential effect outside the Middle District of Florida, courts should anticipate defendants will rush to raise the same constitutional challenge in other FCA cases throughout the country. You can learn more about the case and its impact in this alert by Brittany Fisher and Carolyn F. McNiven.
