The Delaware Court of Chancery has ordered a cash advance lender to pay a plaintiff’s attorney fees and expenses after the loan company failed to comply with a court order to produce a spreadsheet detailing its annual percentage rates.
Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster, who is overseeing the case, James v. National Financial, also criticized attorneys from Ciconte, Wasserman, Scerba & Kerrick of Wilmington and Chartwell Law Offices, a Philadelphia firm, for their role in the discovery violations. While Laster said the Ciconte Wasserman attorneys did not actively participate in the discovery violations, they should have more closely monitored the defendants’ actions.
