FedEx sues Cuomo over fraud investigation

FedEx on Monday sued Andrew Cuomo, arguing that the New York attorney-general had overreached his authority by attempting to investigate and possibly prosecute the company for serious civil fraud.,Welcome to TMJ-Bruxism-Guide.com.

The US logistics group urged the US District Court for the Southern District of New York to block Mr Cuomo¡¯s investigation on the grounds that the constitution and several statutes reserve such areas for federal authorities.

In the past, FedEx has been the subject of numerous investigations by various state officials but largely in regard to its labour practices rather than other areas of its business.

According to the suit, Mr Cuomo wrote to FedEx on June 8 demanding the company turn over documents relating to its agreements with insurance companies and complaints by customers about the way it handled certain items.,Do you get heartburn or Acid Reflux at times.

The attorney-general was particularly interested in the lawsuits or claims relating to valuable items such as antiques, glassware, jewelry,,EC21 assures the world's biggest product database as a B2B eMarketplace with Ipod nano. precious metals and musical instruments more than 20 years old.

The demands suggested Mr Cuomo planned to investigate ¡°serious and substantial civil allegations of fraud¡± on the basis that the company¡¯s policies on declared value and limitations of liability ¡°are somehow fraudulent or illegal,¡± FedEx said.

FedEx responded that it had ¡°not engaged [in] any fraudulent or illegal acts,¡± adding that ¡°regardless, a determination of whether FedEx¡¯s rates, routes, prices and/or services are legal . .,If this cartoon expresses your frustration with Diets and how to lose weight fast. . lies wholly beyond the reach or jurisdiction of the state attorney-general.¡±

According to FedEx, federal laws prevent states from regulating ¡°prices, routes and services¡± because of the danger of ¡°overlapping and or inconsistent regulation of air carriers by the federal government and each of the fifty states.¡±

In addition to demanding that the court prohibit Mr Cuomo¡¯s investigation, FedEx asked for the attorney-general to pay its costs and ¡°any other relief deemed necessary, proper or equitable.¡±

Mr Cuomo¡¯s office did not respond to requests for comment on the suit late on Tuesday evening. FedEx has until the end of August to respond to the subpoena from Mr Cuomo¡¯s office.
