NO. 06-1928 CIVIL TERM
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
IN RE: PRETRIAL CONFERENCE
A pretrial conference was held on Wednesday,
September 2, 2009, before the Honorable Edward E. Guido, Judge.
Present for the Plaintiff was Richard C. Seneca, Esquire, and
present for the Defendants was Allen C. Welch, Esquire.
This is a construction case where the amount in
controversy would seem to dictate that this matter be referred
to arbitration.
Provided, however, that in order to end this
longstanding dispute without further delay, we have agreed
to schedule a bench trial before this Court commencing at
11:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 24, 2009. If either party
objects to this matter being tried before a judge rather than a
jury, the objection shall be made by close of business on
September 14, 2009, in which case we will take appropriate steps
to refer the matter to arbitration.
The parties are directed to pre-mark all exhibits
and exchange them with opposing counsel prior to the time of
trial.
Settlement negotiations are ongoing. It appears
to the Court that there are some reasonable settlement proposals
on the table and that settlement is well within the realm of
possibility.
