17. LEGAL AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS
In accordance with the current accounting standards for loss contingencies, the Company establishes reserves for litigation-related matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Litigation claims and proceedings of all types are subject to many uncertain factors that generally cannot be predicted with assurance. In addition, the Company's defense of litigation claims may result in legal fees, which it expenses as incurred.
On October 3, 2022, Mary Elizabeth Gibbons filed a petition against WSFS Bank, in its individual capacity, in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County for the State of Missouri asserting claims and seeking damages related to an alleged injury that occurred on a property that was allegedly held by the Bank as owner trustee of a RMBS trust. The plaintiff sought in excess of $25 thousand in damages and other equitable relief. On June 6, 2023, the court entered a default judgment against the Bank in the amount of $15.0 million, plus post-judgment interest. On January 3, 2025, the Bank received notice that the plaintiff seeks to domesticate and execute on the Missouri judgment by filing an action in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Based on the inherent uncertainty of this matter, it is reasonably possible that the Bank may incur a loss in the range of $0.0-$15.0 million. The Bank, in accordance with its normal procedures, notified its insurance carriers of a possible claim. The Bank disputes the judgment, the Bank's connection to the property, and denies liability.
There were no material changes or additions to other significant pending legal or other proceedings involving the Company other than those arising out of routine operations.
