Rob brings you up to speed on what the IRS has done in the fall out of the decision, what the current thinking is on whether or not this case applies outside the DC district as well as the current stance of life markets in how they are handling annuities on taxable damage cases. This is a "must listen" podcast if you are a settlement professional.
