CASE DIARY ON JUDY MORRIS V UNUM ET AL.
October 20, 1998
- Lawsuit complaint filed against
UNUM and 59 other defendants. Cost $150 dollars.
October 23, 1998
- Recieved letter from UNUM attorney Ann Courtney
dated 10/21/98 requesting we meet in person.
October 26, 1998
- Response to UNUM's letter of 10/21/98.
I sent, certified return reciept, an answer to Ms. Courtney
telling her I will meet with her on November 25, 1998 in Monson
and insisting that I be allowed to videotape the proceedings.
October 28, 1998
- Copies of lawsuit and form called Waiver of Service mailed
certified, return reciept to all defendants. The purpose of the
Waiver of Service is to set the tone of the litigation and avoid
having to hire deputies and others to deliver the lawsuit with a
summons. Cost for duplication and mailing - about $1000.
- I called all agencies involved that had defendants (PI Agencies,
etc.) to make sure the defendants were still employed there so they
can't claim the person no longer works there and they have no idea of
their whereabouts. I did this for the three PI agencies, the
Insurance Fraud Bureau, and also found out the names of the
Directors of these agencies. Also while I was speaking with the
secretary of the Insurance Fraud Bureau, I specifically
asked her if this agency is responsible for investigating fraud in
health claims. My state senator Senator Brewer had tried to tell
me this agency was only responsible for Automobile Insurance Fraud.
The secretary gave me a definite yes and in fact stated that a lot
of their work involves Workman's Comp.
- Today I got a telephone call from Dan Skelly who tells me that
he is the Director of the Massachusetts Insurance Fraud Bureau.
He agreed to be tape recorded and I am going to
transcribe the conversation here.
November 20, 1998
- Received letter dated 11/16/98, from
Ann Courtney of UNUM, now refusing to meet with me, and
directing me to another attorney.

a motion to dismiss the entire case because it was not "short and
