For those who may be unfamiliar with legal formatting and content requirements, it may be helpful to sequence the review of these documents.
Note the Contents, which provides a telegraphic view of the Brief. Then, read the END-FOOTNOTE of the Brief to appreciate its import BEFORE reading the single-page summaries (mandated by the Court to be provided in this format). Finally, read whatever of the Brief that is of-interest. [The Cover-Memo explains why it is entitled a “Replacement” (because I had to re-center the margins, basically), but the latter was time-stamped to have been received in-time, so Highmark/Insurance-Department attorneys couldn’t challenge its having been docketed.] The Petitioner’s Appendix contains documents that had been presented to the Court in 1996 (i.e., at the time of the initial filing with Commonwealth Court), and the (3-volume) Reproduced Record was culled from the (432-document) Certified Record. The Service is to all the (past/present) “players.” [This is very very very important, because it illustrates the tremendous regional/statewide import of this decade-long legal effort.]
My Motion to Consolidate the cases (to which all parties had agreed via prior conversations/e-mails) was honored, as per an Order issued on 10/11/2006, so Oral Argument was held in conjunction with Capital Blue Cross, represented by Saul-Ewing, on 1/11/2007. This is a vital consideration, for it may be unprecedented for two separate Blues to be court adversaries.
