Indiana Decisions - Several interesting 7th Circuit decisions today
Among the decisions today of the 7th Circuit are the following: KESTREL COAL PTY LTD v. JOY GLOBAL INC is a decision by Judge Easterbrook reversing ED Wis. Judge Muir in an international law matter. PENA v. AM. MEAT PACKING concerns "a class action suit against AMPAC for violations of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN Act”). At issue was whether AMPAC could have reasonably foreseen the plant shutdown so as to provide the employees prior notice. The district court found for AMPAC on summary judgment. Plaintiffs appeal; we reverse." US v. BUCHANAN affirms a decision of SD Ind's Judge Tinder. And in US v. FRYKHOLM, a decision involving a Ponzi scheme; Judge Easterbook begins: "Linda Frykholm must have the tongue of an angel, though she has the morals of a fiend. She persuaded people to invest $15 million in a get-rich-quick scheme, even though the promises she made were transparently too good to be true (100% return in a month) and she had no means to back her promises."
