  • MALPRACTICE: Defense counsel’s often-heated references to the biases or pecuniary interest of plaintiff’s expert witnesses, made in the context of an 11-day trial of a medical-malpractice action, and recorded in over 2000 pages of trial transcript, were based upon the evidence admitted at trial and highlighted legitimate limitations in the experts’ testimony; since a sound reasoning process supported the trial court’s decision that the jury’s verdict was not the product of passion and prejudice, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling plaintiff’s new-trial motion. The trial court did not err in denying the plaintiff’s motion for JNOV or for a new trial when no prejudicial misconduct by defense counsel occurred in the overall context of the trial.

The measure captures the median duration that incorporation lawyers indicate is necessary in practice to complete a procedure with minimum follow-up with government agencies and no extra payments. It is assumed that the minimum time required for each procedure is 1 day.

  • The index ranges from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating greater powers of shareholders to challenge the transaction. In Greece, for example, the plaintiff can access documents that the defendant intends to rely on for his defense and that directly prove facts in the plaintiff's claim (a score of 2). The plaintiff can examine the defendant and witnesses during trial, though only with prior approval of the questions by the court (a score of 1). The plaintiff must specifically identify the documents being sought (for example, the Buyer-Seller purchase agreement of July 15, 2006) and cannot just request categories (for example, all documents related to the transaction) (a score of 0).
