The ruling comes amid broader fighting between the parties over discovery, including a sanctions motion from the firm alleging “Bosworth repeatedly interjected and, on some 46 separate occasions, improperly instructed the witness not to answer questions pertinent to the firm’s claims against him.”

What You Need to Know
- A Philadelphia judge was unconvinced by Kline & Specter’s claims that Thomas Bosworth’s dissemination of discovery materials led to threats being made against the firm.
- The ruling denied, without prejudice, a motion for a protective order governing discovery in the litigation between Kline & Specter and Bosworth.
- Both parties have filed motions for sanctions and accused their opposition of trying to hold up the discovery process.
Kline & Specter’s claims that it has been the target of threats and antisemitic messages spurred by ex-associate Thomas Bosworth’s social media posts failed to convince a Philadelphia judge to limit the disclosure of certain discovery materials.
Judge Abbe Fletman of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas ruled that—at least in the context of a particular discovery dispute—Kline & Specter could not support its assertion.
