SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 23 – Mauritius based
Syntel had a Master Servicing
Agreement with TriZetto, to
provide software application
development and other
services, that allowed it to
terminate it if TriZetto was
acquired by a competitor of
Syntel. It was:
Cognizant.
On October
16 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lorna G. Schofield held
a final final pre-trial
conference. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge
Schofield ruled on the
admissibility of exhibits and
told the parties to come to
her courtroom in 40 Foley
Square on Monday, and from
there across the street to 500
Pearl to pick a jury and start
the trial in Courtroom 24B
(while one of the few other
large courtroom is hosting a
murder for hire jury trial
presided over by Judge P.
Kevin Castel).
Inner City
Press is covering
the latter, to the verdict,
and this one too.
On October
19, after opening statements,
TriZetto first witness was on
the stand, Michael Noonan.
Outside in the hall, a faint
echo of last year's T-Mobile /
Sprint civil trial before
Judge Marrero, there was a box
of sandwiches for this
corporate trial. In the
docket, from the short list of
uncontested facts: Syntel was
serving UnitedHealthcare, Inc.
(UHG).
On October
23, Judge Schofield held the
final charging conference,
over two hours. She eschewed
proposals of lengthy jury
instructions. We'll have more
on this.
This case is
Syntel Sterling et al. vs.
TriZetto Group et al.,
15-cv-211
(Schofield)
