RARE CASE DISCUSSING USE OF GRANT (COOP AGT) V. CONTRACT

The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) use of a notice of funding availability (NOFA) that results in the issuance of a cooperative agreement to obtain services for the administration of Project-Based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts was improper because the “principal purpose” of the NOFA was to obtain contract administration services for HUD’s direct benefit and use, which should be acquired under a procurement instrument that results in the award of a contract.

If you win a big verdict, just how do you collect on it? | Virginia Lawyers Weekly

If you win a big verdict, just how do you collect on it? | Virginia Lawyers Weekly: "Ever wonder what happens after the headlines trumpeting the latest huge jury verdict are gone?

Do the plaintiffs actually collect the amount the jury awarded? How often and how much?

Rick Friedman, a Seattle attorney who lectures to trial lawyers on jury trials, estimates that 10 percent or less of personal injury verdicts are fully collected.

He reached that number by extrapolating from a 2009 Department of Justice study, which found that while plaintiffs win about half of personal injury trials, a “win” includes as little as $1 in compensation.

The study also revealed a surprisingly anemic median jury award in tort cases of $24,000.

“That means half of personal injury [jury] verdicts are under $24,000,” said Friedman.

Whether a verdict is reduced by the trial judge, overturned or reduced on appeal by a higher court, or settled for less than the jury awarded, collecting a verdict is a high hurdle for plaintiffs’ attorneys.

“It’s like gambling against the house in Las Vegas. The defendant has every advantage,” said Friedman."

The rich are very different from you and me, especially paying income taxes

The IRS released data from the 400 individual income tax returns reporting the highest adjusted gross income. This ultrarich group earned on average $202 million in 2009, the latest year available. Buried in the data is the disclosure that 6 of the 400 paid no federal income tax. The IRS has never before disclosed that last fact.

In Superrich, Clues to What Might Be in Romney’s Returnsnytimes.com

Based on experts’ analysis of data on the wealthiest taxpayers, Mitt Romney has almost certainly been paying income taxes, but perhaps at a very low rate.
