Johnston Tobey Baruch’s appellate win garnered attention from Bloomberg Law after the Texas Supreme Court issued a precedent-setting opinion regarding untimely responses and late filings.

Managing Shareholder Chad Baruch argued that a calendaring mistake caused a motion for summary judgment response to be filed one day late.

Mr. Baruch is quoted in the article discussing the case.

“This decision reaffirms the principle that fairness should prevail when mistakes are made in good faith,” Mr. Baruch said.
