PSD partner Peter Duffy wins jury verdict in non-solicitation case

On October 21, 2013, a jury returned a complete defense verdict in favor of PSD clients Amity Insurance and a former employee who were sued by a competitor. Peter Duffy led the trial efforts, which lasted about two weeks in Norfolk County Superior Court. The jury also found that the plaintiff had defamed PSD’s client. A jury determined that the Amity employee did not breach an employment contract with her former employer and that Amity did not interfere with the contract. The judge refused to give a Chapter 93A award to the plaintiff. The jury needed to deliberate for only about a single day.
