Caremark undefined has suffered a relapse. The company's preferred treatment of awhistleblower lawsuit was rejected by a Florida courtthis week. The Tallahassee Democrat reported onTuesday that Leon Circuit Judge P. Kevin Davey denieda motion by the Florida attorney general to obtaincontrol of a whistleblower complaint that accusesCaremark of defrauding state customers. In an unusualmove, the company last month actually invitedprosecution by the state. But the whistleblowers provided evidence thatwell-connected Florida officials may be moreinterested in protecting Caremark than in pursuing thecompany. And the Florida attorney general's officefailed to convince the judge on Monday that it is bestsuited to handle the case.
