The Association of Business Trial Lawyers’ (ABTL) Summer 2007 Report features an article entitled "Effective Use of Rule 11 in Civil Litigation," written by Bergeson, LLP partner Donald P. Gagliardi.
The article discusses the tactical invocation in appropriate cases of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which allows for sanctions for pleadings filed with an improper purpose or without a reasonable basis in fact or law. The particular features of the rule are compared and contrasted with other rules and mechanisms for achieving similar results. |
