Ind. Decisions - "Both sides, which sued each other in 2010, had small victories in orders issued Wednesday"
Updating this ILB entry from Jan. 25th, which quoted the FSSA's characterization of the rulings, the IndyStar has a brief, seemingly balanced story today, although the ILB still has not seen the actual rulings:
A Marion County judge has ruled on some of the issues in a legal battle over the state's canceled welfare-modernization contract with IBM.Both sides, which sued each other in 2010, had small victories in orders issued Wednesday by Marion Superior Court Judge David Dreyer.
Dreyer ruled that the state will have to pay IBM $40 million in subcontractor assignment fees and capped the damages the state can seek at $125 million. The state had asked for at least $437 million.
But Dreyer declined to grant summary judgment in favor of IBM regarding its request for $43 million in deferred fees and its request for the state to return computers and equipment used in the project.
Those issues, along with others, will be resolved during a trial that's scheduled to begin Feb. 27.
Meanwhile, the Indiana Supreme Court will decide whether Gov. Mitch Daniels has to provide a deposition. Dreyer said that Daniels must provide a deposition, but the state appealed. The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing Feb. 13 to hear oral arguments.
