Following briefing and extensive oral argument, Mr. Sacher secured an Order from the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court's Complex Business Litigation Division dismissing 12 of 14 claims asserted claims against his clients, a law firm and its principal.  The case was brought by two foreign corporations seeking the return of approximately $150 million that was transferred by an authorized agent, who then used multiple law firms to disperse the funds:

• Aiding and Abetting claims
• Breach of Fiduciary Duty claims
• Constructive Trust claims
• Money Had and Received claims
• Negligence claims
• Accounting claims

The Court found that the Plaintiffs had met their initial pleading burden to sustain 2 claims for Unjust Enrichment, reducing the possible damages range from more than $150 Million to approximately $260,000.  

Plaintiffs were given leave to amend their earlier pleading to attempt to assert sustainable claims.
