SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 26, update Aug 12 –
The legal staffing company HC2
in September 2019 sent it
contract attorney Andrew
Delaney to work for a
Corporate Client it would
prefer to leave
unnamed.
The project
got suspended due to COVID-19
in March 2020. And, according
to HC2, then Delaney demanded
$450,000 from the Corporate
Client. HC2 wants an
injunction.
A hearing
was held on May 26 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman. Inner
City Press covered
it.
HC2 emphasizes
that Delaney as a lawyer knew
exactly what he was doing, and
asked for an injunction. They
want their confidential
information back, before it is
(they said) leaked to the
press.
Update of August
12: The following has been
received from a gmail address
called "Andrew Delaney" and it
published in full:
"Please remove
the below biased and
defamatory article about me.
"Coronavirus Cut Legal
Staffing Project of HC2 Which
Sues To Enjoin Its Contract
Attorney" In addition to
the information being false
because the Judge threw out
HC2's injunction motion, you
print my name but cover up the
name of Toyota. "SDNY
COURTHOUSE, May 26 – The
legal staffing company HC2 in
September 2019 sent it
contract attorney Andrew
Delaney to work for a
Corporate Client it would
prefer to leave
unnamed." You also
falsely state: "HC2
emphasizes that Delaney as a
lawyer knew exactly what he
was doing, and asked for an
injunction. They want their
confidential information back,
before it is (they said)
leaked to the press." I
never had any confidential
information as found by the
proceedings nor did HC2 ever
show this. You are
adding your own interpretation
and language here that is
defamatory. Remove this
immediately or face legal
action from me." Watch this
site.
The case is HC2,
Inc. v. Delaney, 20-cv-03178
(Liman).
