Boston Market's appeal of a US Foods judgment is dismissed

The freefalling chicken chain had appealed a $15 million judgment awarded to the distributor over unpaid bills. But it was dismissed for a “lack of prosecution.”

SSCP Restaurant Investors, which bought Corner Bakery last year, is accusing former owner Jay Pandya and his Boston Market chain of "shocking, systemic breaches of fiduciary duties."

One of the chain’s bankers is pushing back against US Foods’ efforts to garnish its accounts after the distributor won a judgment earlier this year. The reasoning? It has too many garnishment requests.

Longtime former employees exited the company as stores closed or paychecks stopped showing. But they’ve since been hit with surprise medical bills, and they’ve found themselves unable to file taxes or collect unemployment benefits.

The owner of the rotisserie chicken chain also had his second bankruptcy filing terminated over technical issues, and this time is banned from filing another one.

A federal court in January awarded the distributor $15 million for unpaid bills after saying the rotisserie chicken chain disregarded the litigation.

Jay Pandya, who declared personal bankruptcy in December only to have it terminated, is again seeking debt protection after his company lost a lawsuit filed by US Foods.

A federal court judge cited the fast-casual chain's "willful disregard" for the litigation in ruling in favor of the giant distributor, which had sued for unpaid bills.

The state’s attorney general cited the struggling company’s failure to timely pay wages or provide accurate payroll records.
