    • I fired the Slater firm back in October and retained Larry Friedman and Tim Silverman as new council. I received my claim determination a little over a week ago. I've spoken to a numb of other survivors over the past week that also fired Slater and hired Larry and Tim. They also have received claim determinations as well.  All of us still had to be vetted by the independent neutral even though we retained new council. I believe hiring Larry and Tim had a lot to do with our claims starting to be determined over the past week.
    • Are there any updates on the Slater client pause? 
    • Insurer's first attempt at getting the Trust's suit against them tossed has been denied: USCOURTS-txnd-3_23-cv-01592-0.pdf  Essentially, the insurers started playing their delay game and asked for the lawsuit to be moved to Illinois.  The court has said "nice try, but no."  So, it's a victory.  BUT, expect there to be an apeal of this and any decisions unfavorable to the non-settling insurers.  They are masters at delay and even with a trial moving forward it will be years until any resolution.  This is a time value of money exercise and insurance attorneys are masters at delaying procedures so their employers hold onto their assets as long as possible.  Still, let's appreciate any victory no matter how small, and hope some insurance CEOs start thinking "Okay, the cost of litigating this is starting to cost more than settling."
    • Thanks That was the substance of the SM's reply.
    • Possible reply: “Priority is given to skills training, which is primarily done in situ on campouts, which we use meetings to plan. We encourage skill mastery at meetings BY PLANNING IN ADVANCE with fellow scouts to set aside meeting time to do so.” Or, don’t waste your breath and just work for smiles.
