[Addendum: \u00a0Case has been further appealed to KY Supreme Court.]<\/span><\/p>\n I recently was able to obtain some of the court documents related to\u00a0University Medical Center, Inc’s appeal of a\u00a0lower court’s finding that it is\u00a0a public institution and not the private corporation it claims to be. You can read some of the background on this case in an earlier article<\/a>\u00a0to which I have also added the links below.<\/p>\n \u2022Court Documents for 2013-CA-000446: I will comment further below or later\u00a0when I have a chance to read the briefs carefully. In my experience, it is through documents like these that insight\u00a0useful to the public\u00a0about the workings in\u00a0UofL’s secret gardens can be gained. To the same end, I will write soon about\u00a0some UofL documents I obtained through the open records request process.<\/p>\n UMC\u00a0is represented in this case by Stites & Harbison, the same firm that is representing UofL in its legal dispute with Norton Healthcare. \u00a0Stites is a great law firm\u2013 indeed I was a client once. But\u00a0in\u00a0my way of thinking the fact that it represents both corporations\u00a0is just another example demonstrating that the the University of Lousiville and University Medical Center, Inc. are part of the\u00a0same organization.<\/p>\n Can any reader inform the rest of us whether or not UofL\u00a0(a.k.a. UMC) has\u00a0or will further appeal the case against it to the Kentucky Supreme Court? Does anyone doubt that it will be the President of UofL that makes that decision?<\/p>\n [Addendum, Dec 1: \u00a0A well informed reader tells me that UMC has indeed appealed to the Kentucky Supreme Court to hear its case.
