Court says Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Crye-Leike cannot move Gibson suit

The court ruled that separating the ongoing commission lawsuit into multiple cases would not benefit judicial economy or justice. This decision comes five months after Judge Bough dismissed a motion from the defendants to dismiss the case, emphasizing the need for continuity. Currently, HomeServices and Crye-Leike stand as the last defendants in these commission lawsuits who have yet to reach a settlement agreement, whereas Hanna Holdings recently settled following a controversy involving potential bias due to campaign donations linked to one of the attorneys involved.

The Court holds that severing this case into multiple duplicative cases does not serve the interest of justice or judicial economy, Bough wrote.

Bough's ruling reaffirms the continuity of the case, highlighting the ongoing legal complexity as HomeServices and Crye-Leike remain the only defendants without a settlement.
