SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 12 – Back in 2016 Media
Glow Digital, LLC sued
Panasonic Corporation of North
America for what had already
been a five year delay in
setting up an LED advertising
sign on the side of the
Millennium Broadway hotel in
Times
Square.
On March 11, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Judge Paul G. Gardephe held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Gardephe
noted this is one of the
oldest cases on his docket.
He ruled on
motions in limine, to move the
case along in a detailed oral
ruling. The breach of warranty
claim was dismissed on
consent.
Jump cut to
October 12, 2022, when Judge
Gardephe ruled that
plaintiffs' requests to add a
claim for damages sustained
"in reliance on the Millennium
Sign Agreement's contractual
warranties and to assert
negligence claims against
Panasonic at trial are denied.
So the trial will be
substantially shorter, the
parties agreed.
The case is Media
Glow Digital, LLC et al v.
Panasonic Corporation of North
America, 16-cv-7907
(Gardephe)
