Question: Case Problem #3: Standing: Courts and Alternative Dispute Resolution? Case Problem #3: Standing: Courts and Alternative Dispute Resolution? Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance companies ( the Blues) provide 68 million Americans with health-care financing. The Blues have paid billions of dollars for care attributable to illnesses related to tobacco use. In an attempt to recover some of this amount, the Blues filed a suit in a federal district court against tobacco companies and others, alleging fraud, among other things. The Blues claimed that beginning in 1953, the defendants conspired to addict millions of Americans, including members of Blue Cross plans, to cigarettes and other tobacco products. The conspiracy involved misrepresentation about the safety of nicotine and its addictive properties, marketing efforts targeting children, and agreements not to produce or market safer cigarettes. As a result of the defendants' efforts, many tobacco users developed lung, throat, and other cancers, as well as heart disease, stroke, emphysema, and other illnesses. The defendants asked the court to dismiss the case on the ground that the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue. Do the Blues have standing in this case? Why or why not? Please let me know more detail. Thanks

Answer: A person has standing only if they have been directly harmed by the defendant. I believe BCBS does NOT have standing to sue because they have not been harmed. If their insureds have been hurt and submitted claims then BCBS has to cover them. If BCBS had standing then they could sue fast food companies for making their insureds fat or could sue God for their insured's looking at the sun---see how absurd that is? BCBS takes money from people to cover their health problems. BCBS does not do business with the tobacco industries. Good luck

This is all the information that this essay is based on: Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is an important aspect of the court’s structure in that it allows disputes to be resolved without the need for litigation. If the case is not resolved by ADR or administratively, what options did you have to proceed to litigation? What courts would address this issue?

PLEASE HELP LOCATE WEB SITES WITH SUCH CASES LIKE WAL-MART or DELTA AIRLINES or other source?? I looked up these web sites and nothing on any cases are found anywhere.

Answer: I answered your other question and I don't know why you are having such trouble with this. It's all available with a simple google search. Delta Air Lines and the pilots union jointly requested federal mediation for contract negotiations in November of 2000. If you do a search for National Mediation Board and Air Line Pilots Association, you come up with results such as this: http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/… Then you can do sub-searches for terms such as "ARBITRATION, CONCILIATION AND MEDIATION" simply by clicking on visible key words which will lead to even more useful results. If you go to the National Mediation Board website and type "Delta" in the search box, you will bring up all the determinations, opinions and rulings that involved Delta.

Question: court trials and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).? Court trial process and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). what are the advantages and disadvantages of using courts and ADR to settle disputes. Thanks so far everbody your answers have been well valued.

Answer: ADR is a great cost-effective and usually quicker method of getting the parties to resolve disputes without the need for protracted dockets, litigation costs, and risky trials. ADR usually consists of mediation (where both sides plea their case and make financial settlement demands and offers in a confidential setting to a neutral third party), the mediator. This person usually has been professionally trained or very often trial lawyers and have a good finger on the pulse of just what cases are worth in that particular court system. Since the mediator has confidential communications with both sides, s/he can gauge how far apart each side is and apply a little pressure so the Plaintiff will accept a little less and the Defendant will pay a little more. Plus, you don't have to incur a ton of costs for expert witness fees, etc. in the mediation because you can simply rely on that expert's written report instead of paying him for deposition or courtroom testimony. I love mediation.
