Noteworthy cases
Bradley issued a ruling on August 24, 2011, that awarded the state of Mississippi approximately $8.1 million from Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp (B&W). The tobacco company, argued Attorney General Jim Hood, was shipping out its cigarettes to a third-party manufacturer, STAR, who would sell them in order to avoid payments that B&W owed the state of Mississippi for every cigarette made and shipped. The judge's ruling stated, "There is no dispute that during the time period of 1999 through 2002, B&W manufactured and shipped to STAR more than 7.5 billion cigarettes. Further, there is no dispute that during the relevant time period at least 600 million STAR cigarettes were sold in Mississippi. However, B&W did not include these STAR cigarettes within their calculations for payments made to Mississippi pursuant to the Settlement Agreement."[7]
