Bill Cosby is challenging an arbitration decision that mandated he pay nearly $7 million in fees to a law firm that represented him for nine months in 2015 and 2016, documents show.
The final result of the arbitration was filed in January and upheld a $6.7 million bill Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan had charged Cosby -- $4.3 million of which had already been paid, $2 million by Cosby and $2.3 million by his insurer, AIG. $2.4 million remains to be paid.Originally, the law firm was requesting more than $9 million for its total bill. But that amount was trimmed during arbitration.
In the original letter demanding arbitration, Cosby's attorneys write that despite knowing of Cosby's blindness,Tayback did not read the agreement -- which would end up with Cosby paying about $1 million per month -- to him or try to make sure he understood its contents.The same court filing outlines several claims against Quinn Emanuel, including negligence, fraud and deceit, and elder abuse.
