Cozen O’Connor Defamation Suit Dismissed by Philadelphia Judge

A Philadelphia judge has tossed a defamation action brought against Cozen O'Connor by a Main Line building fortune heir involved in a dispute over a family trust. In court papers initially filed in the underlying litigation, Lillian Meyers accused son Lincoln, himself an attorney, of fraud in transferring ownership of a Rolls Royce Corniche belonging to Lillian. The key question in the case was whether attorneys' actions in the events resulting in the litigation were extrajudicial.
