CW successfully defeated an interlocutory appeal in the case of Stephano v. Morris HealthCare LLC, which was brought before the Massachusetts State Court of Appeals. The appellate court, in reliance on CW’s arguments, found that a nursing home was not absolutely immune from claims under the COVID-19 Immunity Act. As such, the appellate court further found that plaintiff’s claims for emotional distress and defamation arising from the nursing home’s wrongful treatment of her during and after visiting her dying mother can go to trial.
