SC judge orders J&J to pay $327M in Risperdal case
A South Carolina judge ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $327 million in penance for mismarketing its antipsychotic drug Risperdal. The civil judgment against J&J's Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals subsidiary stems from two things: a letter to physicians promoting Risperdal as safer than and superior to rival drugs and sample boxes with deceptive labels, the judge's ruling states.
In a 17-page ruling, Judge Roger Couch chastised the company's management for allowing "the profit-at-all-costs mentality to cloud" their approach to marketing the drug. The letter to doctors, which eventually drew a warning from FDA for false and misleading claims, was a "clever effort" to "manipulate the message" about Risperdal, Couch ruled (as quoted by Bloomberg ).
Couch ordered Janssen to pay $174.2 million in penalties for the letters. That amounts to $4,000 for each of the 7,142 letters sent to South Carolina doctors. Every letter was considered to be a single violation of the state's consumer-protection laws. The remainder of the judgment--$152.

U.S. District Judge Owen Panner believes that two wrongs do not make a right and, in keeping with this philosophy, has blocked the foreclosure on a Medford, Oregon home[1]. “While I recognize that [the owners] have failed to make any payments on the note since September 2009, that failure does not permit defendants to violate Oregon law,” he ruled. Bank of America, MERS and a trustee, Northwest Trustee Services, were involved in the foreclosure process. Panner believes that since “MERS makes it much more difficult for all parties to discover who owns the loan,” modification attempts are too difficult. Given the difficulties associated with MERS and with non-judicial foreclosures, Panner questioned whether any foreclosures should be allowed to proceed without the courts, given the consistently poor process evident in court-reviewed cases.
In this particular case, the borrower’s mortgage note had been sold by GN Mortgage to Wells Fargo and then Bank of America. They were issued notice of default in May 2010 and sued to block the foreclosure in September of that year. The foreclosure had been canceled at least once due to “documents recorded out of order,” and four days before the original default notice was issued, “three MERS executives signed mortgage documents to other parties all in the same day.” Panner said that this led him to question how carefully the documents were reviewed, and added that since the same notary public witnessed all three executives signing the documents, the process “appears rushed.”
MERS spokespeople have complained that Panner’s ruling is inconsistent with other state decisions in which other judges found that MERS satisfied state law during foreclosures[2]. The critical point appears to be whether or not the mortgage assignments were recorded in county land records. If they were not, then a non-judicial foreclosure in Oregon is not an option. However, Panner’s judicial opinion seems to be largely a ‘”scathing treatise on the pitfalls of MERS,” which has caused some critics to raise questions about whether this is really an issue of law or if the judge is attempting to change the state’s foreclosure system. Bank of America still has the option of pursuing a judicial foreclosure, according to the homeowners’ lawyer, James Stout.
