In a recent court case, Kaleida Health faced opposition in their attempt to prevent participants in their pension plan from serving subpoenas on Mercer Investment Consulting and Nixon Peabody LLP. Despite this setback, the company still has the option to pursue this matter in a different court.
Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy of the US District Court for the Western District of New York ruled that if Kaleida Health wants to block workers from obtaining information from Mercer, they will need to do so through the Southern District of New York. This is because Mercer’s main office is located in New York City, making it difficult for Kaleida Health to enforce their legal challenges in the Western District.
The judge also noted that it is unclear from the record where Nixon Peabody’s subpoena should be handled. This suggests that further steps may be necessary for Kaleida Health to address these subpoenas issued to Nixon Peabody LLP. Ultimately, Kaleida Health may need to consider their options and decide how to proceed in response to these legal challenges.
