Jury Returns Verdict for $6.3 Million in Favor of Tarpey Wix Client Northwest Pallet Supply

After a two-week trial, a federal jury returned a verdict in favor of Northwest Pallet on all counts at issue, including the claims brought against it for conversion and civil conspiracy by its competitor, PECO Pallet, and awarded Northwest Pallet approximately $6.3 million in damages on its countersuit for unjust enrichment. The case was tried in the United States District Court for Northern District of Illinois before Magistrate Judge Michael T. Mason. Northwest Pallet was represented at trial by Dan Tarpey, Dave Wix and Matt Showel. PECO Pallet was represented by Winston & Strawn.

The case arose in 2015 when Northwest Pallet, a pallet recycler which performs “dock sweeping” services for major retailers such as Target and Walgreen’s, stood up to PECO’s aggressive attempts to unilaterally dictate the price it was willing to pay for the return of red rental pallets PECO rents to its consumer goods customers like Kraft Foods. After the parties reached an impasse on those negotiations, PECO filed suit its lawsuit first claiming Northwest Pallet had been stealing its pallets and encouraging retailers to do the same. Northwest Pallet filed a countersuit shortly after seeking reasonable compensation for all of the services involved in the safe return of a rental pallet to a pallet rental company like PECO. After nearly two weeks of trial, the jury deliberated for less than three hours and sided with Northwest Pallet on all counts at issue.

Tarpey Wix Files Antitrust Suit on Behalf of Prescient Medicine

Prescient’s complaint filed in federal court in Delaware seeking at least $50 million in damages alleges that AmeriHealth, the managed care organization administering the state of Delaware’s Medicaid benefits, and LabCorp, the country’s largest laboratory service provider, have colluded to form an exclusive relationship to prevent competition from other labs in violation of federal antitrust laws. In so doing, the collusion has prevented Delaware Medicaid patients from being offered Prescient’s innovative genetic testing solutions to health care.

A Delaware health care laboratory services startup has hit LabCorp and one of the state’s Medicaid service management organizations with a $50 million antitrust and fraud lawsuit, claiming the government contractor conspired to make LabCorp the state’s only Medicaid lab service provider....

This morning co-founding partner Dave Wix argued before the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in an effort to have victories obtained in the trial court on behalf of the firm’s non-profit client, Alliance for Water Efficiency, affirmed on appeal.

In what can be one of the most challenging undertakings as a litigator – getting peppered with questions from some of the world’s greatest legal minds – Dave made a rock solid argument as to why the appellate court should uphold the firm’s victories on complex issues such as copyright infringement, scope of settlement enforceability and restitution. It was a good day for one of our fearless leaders!
