: Legal Pad | LAState Bar to decide on conduct of Toyota 'whistleblower'
By Richard Binder
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge John L. Segal has referred Dimitrios Biller, former national managing counsel in the legal services group in charge of Toyota's rollover litigation program, to the State Bar of California for possibly violating the rules of professional conduct by disclosing confidential attorney-client information.
Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc., based in Torrance, Calif., requested an injunction to force Biller to stop publicizing privileged information about Toyota's lawsuits, settlements and litigation policies. Segal granted the injunction, but made clear the order won't affect federal litigation in which Biller accuses the automaker of widespread discovery abuses in rollover litigation.
