Johnson & Johnson to Pay $52 Million in PA Drug Pricing Dispute
Johnson & Johnson must pay $52 million in damages and penalties after a Pennsylvania judge found the pharmaceutical company falsely reported the prices of its drugs. Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett announced Dec. 17, 2010, that a Commonwealth Court judge rendered the verdict after a five-week trial in Easton, PA. Johnson & Johnson has been ordered to repay more than $45 million to Medicaid and the PACE prescription drug program for senior citizens, along with more than $6.5 million in civil penalties. In 2004, Corbett's office sued Johnson & Johnson, several of its subsidiaries and 14 other drug companies, alleging they manipulated a pricing benchmark known as the “average wholesale price.” Corbett's office has recovered $49 million so far, and other cases are pending.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
