Lawsuit prompts possible vote that could lead to ouster of directors
The country club will host its fifth PGA Championship a decade from now but this month faces a special membership meeting with a focus on its bitter internecine lawsuit.
In New York, appellate courts have rebuffed efforts by defendants to reverse course after an agreement not to challenge a plea of guilty. Now, a case stemming from a 2020 fatal shooting in Greece could mark a significant change.
After a nearly six-year legal fight, hundreds of survivors of abuse by priests and other church officials in the Rochester diocese will receive payments.
After six years, survivors have approved a $246.35 million settlement that should bring the case to a conclusion in early September.
