The Louisiana Supreme Court’s Alarming U-turn
The Pelican State deserves a judicial system that stands firmly on principles — not one swayed by the most recent political winds.
Vanderventer v. Hyundai Motor Co.
(Wis., filed December 8, 2022): Urging the Court to review the case and correct the Court of Appeals’ transformation of a presumption that a compliant product is not defective into a mechanism for plaintiffs to introduce irrelevant and highly prejudicial evidence. Also, urging the Court to correct the misuse of evidence of subsequent remedial measures to rebut a manufacturer’s general defense or preemptively “impeach” testimony a defendant has not offered. Lastly, urging the Court to review the lower court’s decision to allow engineers to offer novel, untested theories and medical doctors to opine on product design.
