Attorneys for Effingham County and Lakeside EMS held a telephone conference call Wednesday morning with Judge James Eder concerning the lawsuit involving the County and Lakeside.

The County brought suit against Lakeside, seeking to bar the ambulance service from operating here. Lakeside later filed a counterclaim against the County.

Judge Eder granted a request by the County to file an amended complaint. Lakeside will then have 21 days to file a response.

The parties have some dispute over the discovery filed in the case and Judge Eder urged efforts to narrow the dispute or, at best, to resolve the dispute.

Another conference call in the case was scheduled for May 16. The possibility of mediation to resolve the case will be discussed.
