Update: Brockovich Beverly Hills case

A further stinging rebuff in court for the glamourpuss tort-chaser: “A judge on Friday dropped the Beverly Hills Unified School District from a lawsuit that claims an oil well on a high school campus caused cancer in former students. Superior Court Judge Wendell Mortimer Jr. said he was not persuaded that the well operating for decades at Beverly Hills High was a danger. He also found no evidence that the school district was aware of any danger.” (“Beverly Hills schools dropped from lawsuit over campus oil well”, AP/San Diego Union-Tribune, Mar. 23). For more on the Beverly Hills case, see Mar. 16, 2004, Nov. 3, 2005, and Dec. 1, 2006. For Brockovich’s rebuffs in Medicare-billing cases, see Mar. 15, etc.
