Peter Pan Wakes Up

If you've been following the Peter Pan case, well, you have been very bored.  It has taken almost an entire year to get the case served in conformity with the Hague Convention.   During this time I decided it should be difficult to serve a foreign resident.  You should have to think twice before dragging someone from a foreign country into your court, and vice versa.   Litigation is frequently abused, and it is expensive.  But service shouldn't take this long.
But we received word that the suit got served on the defendant, Great Ormond Street Hospital, on January 10, 2004, so that chapter is over and things will begin to happen.
While we were waiting, the case was reassigned to U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White.  The Court has (yet again) rescheduled the initial case management conference for April 23 at 1:30 PM.  We expect GOSH's response, which could be a motion to dismiss, not later than April 9 (Good Friday).
