Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Irene S.):
The lastest from NY AG v TMC as of 01/13/21016 https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentDisplayServlet?documentId=mcagxcyqAQZWVsNsa6gVCw==&system=prod What does this mean?
This from a TMC owner who is an attorney and expert in this field.
"The NYAG is making progress in the civil case and probably did not want to risk putting the case on hold in order to pursue the criminal case (which is probably a lot harder to prove). Based on my reading of the case law, it seems likely that if tmc's motion to stay the civil case had gone forward, tmc would have won,meaning no depositions or anything else until the criminal case was concluded. Of course, the AG is not allowed to take depositions in a criminal case as tmc is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If tmc had successfully stayed the civil case, then the March motions also would have been placed on ice until the criminal case ended--would really have stalled the progress of the case.
