SETTLEMENT CHRONOLOGY - CH. 7 CASE NO. 99-04339


YEAR 1999

 

02/02/99     Harmon wrote to Rodney Park, president, P&C: “As I have not received a response to my settlement proposals dated January 17, 1999, those proposals expired on January 31, 1999. Consequently, I am offering the following new proposals . . . As previously advised, I am not represented by counsel in this matter. Therefore, you, P&C’s contracted third-party claims administrator, or authorized counsel may respond to me directly. If I am to correspond or negotiate with any third party, please provide me with a copy of your specific written authorization agreement for the handling of these claims with such third party or parties. . . These offers will expire at 12:00 noon, February 15, 1999.” cc: Tony Rangel, Federal Ins Co.

 

02/03/99     Park wrote Harmon: “In response to your February 2, 1999 letter and all previous related correspondence, all matters raised in your letters including any issues you believe to exist between you and P&C Insurance, should be addressed to Robert S. Katz or Matt A. Tsukazaki at the law firm of Torkildson, Katz, Fonseca, Jaffe, Moore & Hetherington . . . I will not respond separately to your February 2, 1999 letter.”


02/06/99     Harmon responded to Park:

 

“This is in response to your February 3, 1999 letter addressed to me, with copies to Matt A. Tsukazaki, Esq. and Roy F. Hughes, Esq. With due respect, I must point out several statements in your letter which do not adequately respond to my letter of February 2, 1999.”

 

“First, your reference is to P&C Insurance Company, Inc. et al. v. Bobby N. Harmon, Civil No. 97-0512-02, while my letter referenced the above matter. This is a completely separate and different claim not covered in Civil No. 97-0512-02.”

 

“Second, I requested in my letter, ‘If I am to correspond or negotiate with any third party, please provide me with a copy of your specific written authorization agreement for the handling of these claims with such third party or parties.’ If I am to address Robert S. Katz or Matt A. Tsukazaki directly on these ‘bad faith’ claims against P&C, then I will require a copy of P&C’s engagement letter to the law firm of Torkildson, Katz, Fonseca, Jaffe, Moore & Hetherington evidencing that they have been retained to handle these specific claims.”

 

“Third, I am of the opinion that there would be a conflict of interest on the part of this law firm if they were to handle both my ‘whistle-blower’ wrongful termination claim, and the referenced bad faith claim. In fact, Torkildson, Katz would be a named defendant in any law suit that may be filed in the referenced matter. This fact, in itself, would probably be sufficient cause for them to have a conflict of interest.”

 

“Fourth, now that all five trustees have been removed by the court from handling any matters related to the I.R.S. audit, and Trustee Henry Peters has been indicted on grand theft, will Mr. Peters, through Nathan Aipa and Louanne Kam, be allowed to continue to direct the operations of P&C, including the handling of claims and the awarding of non-bid contracts, such as to Marsh & McLennan and Torkildson, Katz?”

 

“Until the above issues have been resolved, I do not believe it would be appropriate for me to correspond directly with Mr. Katz or Mr. Tsukazaki. Therefore, I anticipate that you will either personally respond to my February 2, 1999 letter, or that P&C’s authorized third-party claims administrator or designated attorney for this matter will respond to my proposal and adequately address the four issues stated above.”

 

“As previously advised, I am not represented by counsel in this matter. Therefore, it may be inappropriate for you to send copies of any correspondence to Roy Hughes, Esq., at this time as he is involved only in Civil No. 97-0512-02.”

05/27/99     Judge Bambi Weil issues Order Reversing Employment Security Appeals Office’s Decision 9701016 filed in 1st Circuit Court:

 

“. . . The first issued raised is the appeals officer’s failure to allow Appellant’s request to subpoena records and witnesses. The Court notes that the answering brief filed by Employer . . . states . . . that Appellant, who was a participant in conversations with many of the proposed witnesses, should have produced or could have testified to the documents that he authored and could have testified about his conversations. . .”

 

“. . . The Court finds it appropriate to take judicial notice of Civ. No. 97-0512-02, an action entitled P&C Insurance Co, Inc. and Richard S.H. Wong, Oswald K. Stender, Lokelani Lindsey, Gerard A. Jervis and Henry H. Peters as Trustees of the Estate of Bernice Pauahi Bishop [vs. Bobby N. Harmon]: Therefore, an action brought by Employer as well as by P&C Insurance Co.”

 

“In Civ. No. 97-0512-02, on Feb. 21, 1997, Judge Radius sitting in the Circuit Court, granted KSBE’s motion for preliminary injunction against Appellant. By the court taking judicial notice of the minute order for that date, the Court notes that Mr. Katz was present when that occurred with his partner or associate Mr. Tsukazaki of the same law office, the same law office which is representing KSBE today, and did throughout the unemployment insurance hearing.”

 

“That on May 27, 1997, in the agency appeal, Appellant requested subpoenas and records including his personnel records which the Appeals Office denied.”

 

“On Aug 21, 1997, Mr. Katz’s law firm with Mr. Katz again on the pleading, filed an emergency motion for enforcement of Judge Radius’ order in Civ. No. 97-0512-02. On Aug. 26, Sept. 26, and Oct. 31, 1997, this particular judge heard that motion. Mr. Katz did not argue, but the attorney from his law firm, Mr. Tsukazaki argued the motion.

 

“On Feb. 16, 1998, the Appeals Office rejected another of Appellant’s requests for subpoenas.”

 

“On Mar. 5, 1998, the Appeals Office decision was entered.”

 

“On Mar. 12, 1998, Appellant brought a motion for reconsideration and again requested subpoenas for the documents, and based on the testimony of Louanne Kam at the hearing, added the need for Mr. Aipa to be called as a witness, and a specific document to which Ms. Kam had referred that being a second opinion on the arms length relationship between KSBE and P&C.”

 

“In requesting the additional subpoenas along with the previously requested subpoenas, Appellant included a justification, among others that the court order he was under would not allow him to provide it himself.”

 

“On April 29, 1998, the Appeals Office denied the request to reopen the case and again denied Appellant’s request for subpoenas on the basis that Appellant failed to show the necessity of the individuals and documents for a fair hearing.”

 

“Based on the above, the argument that Appellant should have brought forth the documents he was precluded from having because of actions taken by Mr. Katz’s law office in the companion case will not prevail.”

 

“The law regarding subpoenas is found at Hawaii Administrative Rules § 12-5-93(e)(20(1997) and reads, ‘upon a showing of necessity by any party for the issuance of a subpoena to compel the attendance of a witness or the production of account records and documents at any hearing, a subpoena shall be issued by the referee.’ It is not a matter of discretion.

 

. . . the Court finds there was a showing of necessity. Appellant was under court order so he did not have the documents and had no way to compel the testimony of Employer. The Court also finds that the information sought to be subpoenaed was relevant to the underlying unemployment case, inter alia, because it could go to reasons for Appellant’s actions, the importance of non-compliance, the importance of being in non-compliance to Employer KSBE, and whether Appellant was acting with wilful and wanton disregard of Employer’s best interest. The Court also finds that it is beyond cavil that it is against the best interest of a charitable trust, namely KSBE, to lose its tax exempt status.”

 

“The documents sought by Appellant would be relevant to whether Appellant’s ‘insubordination’ was an exercise of good faith discretion as KSBE’s risk manager.”

 

“The relevant issue is whether Appellant exercised good faith discretion as KSBE’s risk manager, because KSBE was Employer.”

 

“The Court additionally finds that there was probative, substantial and reliable evidence in the record to support the finding that Appellant ‘ignored his superior’s directives because he concluded that he would be violating the IRS code or the insurance commissioner’s regulation if he complied with the directive.It is not disputed that Appellant was acting on information that indicated such action could or would jeopardize Employer’s tax-exempt status. Ms. Kam testified and the Appeals Office found at the Certified Record on Appeal page 248 that Appellant had a genuine concern for the organization and that concern was understandable.”

 

“The Court finds because of those uncontested findings for which there is support in the record, Appellant cannot be denied unemployment benefits because he was not fired for misconduct as Hawaii Revised Statutes § 383-30(2) defines that term.”

 

The record shows there was no wilful or wanton disregard of Employer’s interests, Employer being KSBE, the charitable estate as opposed to any individual who worked for KSBE, and that his actions were an exercise of his discretion. The Court cannot say whether it was error in Appellant’s judgment to disobey orders, but even if it was an error in judgment, it was truly a good faith error.

 

“IT IS THEREFORE HEREBY ORDERED that the Employment Security Appeals Office Decision 9701016 dated March 5, 1998, finding Appellant disqualified for benefits is reversed and unemployment insurance benefits be paid. . .”

The first job I had was called the Assistant Chief of Naval Operations for Surface Warfare. I was responsible for all of the procurement of all the ships in the Navy. I also procured all the weapon systems for all the ships in the Navy. I had a budget of $22 billion dollars.”

 

12/07/99     Steven Guttman’s letter to Roy Hughes, Esq. (Harmon’s defense atty appointed by Island Insurance), stating, “As we discussed, my firm represents the Ch. 7 Trustee for ... Harmon, Mary Lou Woo. In her capacity as Trustee, Ms. Woo is the holder of all claims of Mr. Harmon that had accrued, regardless of whether they are contingent and unliquidated, as of his bankruptcy filing date of October 13, 1999. ... Ms. Woo is interested in exploring whether a global settlement can be reached to resolve Mr. Harmon’s claims. To facilitate settlement discussions, I requested that Magistrate Kurren hold a settlement conference. He agreed to do so and the settlement conference is set for Dec. 22 ... A confidential settlement letter is to be delivered or faxed to Magistrate Kurren on Dec. 20. For there to be a reasonable possibility of reaching a global settlement, your presence is required. Bishop Estate has agreed to the settlement conference. Susan Tius and Jeffrey Sia will be present for Bishop Estate. Arnold Phillips will attend as Mr. Harmon’s personal attorney. Please note that Ms. Woo, subject to Bankruptcy approval, has authority to settle regardless of Mr. Harmon’s perspective on the issue.... (Before the website was shut down by Order of Judge David Ezra dated Originally at www.the-catbird-seat.net/Doc-Guttman-Hughes-12-7-99.pdf ) ... (now located at http://www.kycbs.net/Doc-Guttman-Hughes-12-7-99.pdf )

 

BH: Note that Guttman states that Tius and Sia will be present for BISHOP ESTATE - NOT P&C INSURANCE CO. This is another “arms-length” issue. Although this Settlement Conference is supposed to be held for the purpose of a global settlement, note that no one representing the insurance companies for Bishop Estate and P&C Insurance Co. (Federal and XL) are scheduled by Guttman to attend this settlement conference. Again, Jeff Sia has not presented any evidence that he has been legally appointed by P&C Insurance Co., or Kamehameha Schools, to represent them at this Settlement Conference, or that his purported appointment has been approved by Federal Insurance and XL.

 

12/07/99     The scheduled Pre-Trial Conference with Judge Kurren, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16, is continued to 12/22/99, at 9:00 a.m.

 

12/08/99     Jeffrey Sia’s ltr to Steven Guttman outlining P&C’s legal position: “With the Settlement Conference in the above-referenced case approaching, and because of your recent involvement in the case, I wanted to convey to you, for your consideration, P&C Insurance Co.’s position concerning Plaintiff’s claims asserted and attempted to be asserted against it. ... I assumed that you had or had access to the Complaint filed by Harmon in federal court, which I have not reproduced for you because of its length, especially with the Exhibits. ... There are other viable defenses available to P&C, which could be asserted by KSBE and the individual Defendants ... BH note: This is again another “arms-length” issue which Guttman does not challenge. Sia has presented NO ATTORNEY OF RECORD LETTER or other evidence to Guttman to verify his appointment by P&C, or by the individual defendants (which include Henry Peters as both Trustee and P&C board chairman, or any evidence of the required approval of his representation by P&C’s professional liability insurance carriers, Federal Insurance Co., and XL. (www.kycbs.net/Claim-Sia-Guttman-12-8-99.pdf)
