the Judgment

“The Court should affirm the judgment.”

The judgment that Huntington won in New York didn’t make the cut, the court reasoned, and the Maryland courts had to enforce it.

Carbona had denied any wrongdoing and the judgment was reversed in part and reduced on appeal, but the case left lasting damage.

In a statement after the judgment earlier, Mr Haythornthwaite said he had decided to resign with "immediate effect" and in "the best interests of the trust".

But the VA’s attorneys, who maintained throughout the proceeding that the judge’s interpretation of the law was in error, objected and appealed the judgment.
