In a recent ruling, U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Savage of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania turned down Shook, Hardy & Bacon’s request to reschedule an impending trial involving Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade. Judge Savage criticized the defense counsel’s casual approach to the trial schedule, stating, “Defense counsel’s whimsical treatment of scheduled trial dates as tentative and subject to change is why the parties are now in a difficult—but not insoluble—position.” The rejection underscores the challenges faced by legal teams in balancing court protocols with client needs.
