Douglas Elliman Dismisses Lawsuit
August 16, 2018

 New York, New York (August 16, 2018) — After the Law Offices of David Yerushalmi won a discovery sanction for an adverse inference resulting from the reckless destruction of  email evidence (ESI or Electronically Stored Information) by the behemoth real estate brokerage company Douglas Elliman, a ruling upheld on appeal, and following the New York Supreme Court's ruling that opened the door for Yerushalmi's client to file a motion for summary judgment predicated upon the adverse inference, Douglas Elliman immediately entered into a settlement to dismiss its lawsuit against this firm's client, with zero payment.

           Discovery sanctions against major corporate litigants for the wilfull or reckless or grossly negligent destruction of evidence are rare and the adverse inference effectively ended the litigation.
