READ MORE Hitting It Out of the Park With an Expert Witness in a Patent Case New York Law Journal
Expert witnesses are critical to trial success in patent cases. While fact witnesses lay foundation, establish case themes, and can generate sympathy for one side or the other, it is usually the experts who give the jurors the raw material they need to reach an ultimate decision on liability and damages. The credibility and thoroughness of an expert's testimony — on direct, cross, and re-direct — can thus have a significant impact on the outcome of a patent case that makes it to trial. The following best practices can help parties find the right experts and prepare them to deliver a standout performance. READ MORE Is an Expert Witness Needed in a Strict Liability Products Case? The Daily Breeze
Q: If a product is dangerous, causes harm, and it's being used in a perfectly normal way, why would you need an expert witness in a lawsuit? Isn't that strict liability?

A: Your opponent is going to submit testimony and evidence to try to establish that the product has no design or manufacturing defect. In turn, you still have to prove the basic elements of product liability to get to strict liability, a legal doctrine says a person or company is responsible for actions or products that cause damages whether or not negligence is involved.

Subject: TCAC Guidance - Regulatory Agreement
 
STO HomeCTCAC HomeLog InJoinUnsubscribeCalifornia Tax Credit Allocation CommitteeIn preparing regulatory agreements, TCAC staff has begun verifying the accuracy of the project site legal description. New construction project legal descriptions provided to TCAC in the placed in service package are frequently inaccurate or outdated. Often during the construction period, parcels are redrawn, split, or have lot line adjustments. This results in a legal description different from the grant deed legal description. It is important that the TCAC regulatory agreement be recorded to the correct and current legal description and parcel number. TCAC staff encourages those preparing placed in service package documents to consult with the development team member most knowledgeable about the project’s legal description; title companies can also be a helpful resource. The legal description in the regulatory agreement is comprised of the address(es), narrative description, and parcel number (APN). The current parcel map for the project site is often a useful document in determining the correct APN and parcel identification.A project located on a parcel that is being redrawn or split (for example, a project in a new development area or phase one of a multi-phase project) should have the legal description finalized prior to submitting the placed in service package. Correcting a regulatory agreement that has been incorrectly recorded to a site that is not part of a project is a time-consuming process, both for TCAC and a project owner, and typically requires working with the project legal team. It also jeopardizes TCAC’s place on title, and creates the possibility of additional recording errors.The process of obtaining an accurate legal description by TCAC staff is resulting in a delay in regulatory agreement preparation. This affects TCAC staff’s ability to move the placed in service package to the review stage. We appreciate your attention to this issue and assisting TCAC in keeping to our goal of preparing the regulatory agreement and completing the initial review within 60 days of placed in service package receipt. For questions about regulatory agreement documents please contact Marisol Parks by email or phone at (916) 653-4718.

Banking OpinionsBank of New York Mellon v. Henderson Court: US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia CircuitDocket: 15-5186 Opinion Date: July 7, 2017Judge: Douglas Howard Ginsburg Areas of Law: Banking, Real Estate & Property Law The D.C. Circuit held that the district court properly entered summary judgment for judicial foreclosure to the property at issue, because D.C. law allows the holder of a note to enforce the deed of trust by judicial foreclosure. In this case, there was no genuine dispute of material fact that the Bank holds the Note. The court rejected defendant's counterclaim for declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as defendant's counterclaim under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Furthermore, the Bank has carried its burden of showing there was no genuine dispute of material fact with respect to the quiet title counterclaim; defendant forfeited his claim under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA); and, in regard to the civil conspiracy claim, defendant failed to meet the heightened pleading requirements for fraud.Read Opinion Are you a lawyer? Annotate this case.Idaho Independent Bank v. Frantz Court: Idaho Supreme Court - CivilDocket: 44252 Opinion Date: July 10, 2017Judge: Daniel T. Eismann Areas of Law: Banking, Bankruptcy Marty and Cindy Frantz executed a series of commercial guaranties so that Idaho Independent Bank (“Bank”) would lend money to Eagle Ridge on Twin Lakes, Inc. (“Eagle Ridge”), a closely held corporation in which the Frantzes held a majority interest. Bank filed this action against the Frantzes to recover on their commercial guaranties. The Frantzes filed an answer in which they admitted the material allegations in the complaint, but asserted affirmative defenses and counterclaims against Bank. They later amended their answer to include a third-party claim against Eagle Ridge. The Frantzes initially filed a petition under chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code the day before Mr. Frantz’s deposition was to occur; the Frantzes’ bankruptcy was converted to a liquidation case under chapter 7, and a trustee was duly appointed for the estate. Less than two weeks before the trial on Bank’s adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy case, the Frantzes filed a voluntary waiver of discharge, and the bankruptcy court approved the waiver. As a result, the bankruptcy court was deprived of jurisdiction to hear the adversary proceeding, and it dismissed it without prejudice. However, the court did award sanctions in the sum of $49,477.46 against the Frantzes and their attorney, jointly and severally, for their conduct during the course of the adversary proceeding. The court found that their conduct constituted misuse of litigation tactics to cause economic injury to an opponent and its counsel in the form of increased litigation costs. Bank filed a notice in this case that because of the waiver of discharge, the automatic stay from the bankruptcy court was terminated. Bank then moved for summary judgment. The district court entered a judgment against the Frantzes “in the amount of $9,193,546.50, plus pre-judgment interest at the rate of $2,475.02 per diem from September 16, 2015, until the date this Judgment is entered.” Because the Frantzes' third-party claim against Eagle Ridge that was yet unresolved, the court certified the judgment as final pursuant to Rule 54(b) of the Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure. The Frantzes filed a motion for reconsideration, and the court denied that motion. They then timely appealed, arguing the district court erred in denying them affirmative defenses based upon an alleged breach of contract. Finding no reversible error, the Idaho Supreme Court affirmed.Read Opinion Are you a lawyer? Annotate this case.United States v. HSBC Bank USA, N.A. Court: US Court of Appeals for the Second CircuitDocket: 16-308 Opinion Date: July 12, 2017Judge: Robert A. Katzmann Areas of Law: Banking, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law HSBC and the government appealed the district court's grant of a motion by a member of the public to unseal the Monitor's Report in a case involving a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with HSBC. The Second Circuit held that the Monitor's Report is not a judicial document because it is not relevant to the performance of the judicial function. By sua sponte invoking its supervisory power at the outset of this case to oversee the government's entry into and implementation of the DPA, the court explained that the district court impermissibly encroached on the Executive's constitutional mandate to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Furthermore, even assuming arguendo that a district court could revoke a speedy trial waiver were it to later come to question the bona fides of a DPA, the presumption of regularity precludes a district court from engaging in the sort of proactive and preemptive monitoring of the prosecution undertaken here.Read Opinion Are you a lawyer?

Construction Law OpinionsHaley v. Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork Co., Court: US Court of Appeals for the Seventh CircuitDocket: 16-3192 Opinion Date: July 11, 2017Judge: Joel Martin Flaum Areas of Law: Class Action, Construction Law, Consumer Law, Contracts Plaintiffs filed a putative class action against Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork, alleging that Kolbe sold them defective windows that leak and rot. Plaintiffs brought common-law and statutory claims for breach of express and implied warranties, negligent design and manufacturing of the windows, negligent or fraudulent misrepresentations as to the condition of the windows, and unjust enrichment. The district court granted partial summary judgment in Kolbe’s favor on a number of claims, excluded plaintiffs’ experts, denied class certification, and found that plaintiffs’ individual claims could not survive without expert support. The Seventh Circuit affirmed. Plaintiffs forfeited their arguments with respect to their experts’ qualifications under “Daubert.” Individual plaintiffs failed to establish that Kolbe’s alleged misrepresentation somehow caused them loss, given that their builders only used Kolbe windows. Though internal emails, service-request forms, and photos of rotting or leaking windows may suggest problems with Kolbe windows, that evidence did not link the problems to an underlying design defect, as opposed to other, external factors such as construction flaws or climate issues.Read Opinion Are you a lawyer? Annotate this case.Westfield Insurance Co. v. National Decorating Service, Inc. Court: US Court of Appeals for the Seventh CircuitDocket: 16-1439 Opinion Date: July 13, 2017Judge: WILLIAMS Areas of Law: Construction Law, Contracts, Insurance Law A newly-constructed multi‐story condominium building suffered water damage, allegedly caused by the painting subcontractor, National, failing to apply an adequate coat of sealant to the exterior. In Illinois state court, the condominium association sued the general contractor, developer, and subcontractors. The defendants tendered the defense to Westfield, National’s insurer, Westfield filed a federal action seeking a declaration that it owed no duty to defend in the underlying action. The district court determined that the complaint triggered Westfield’s duty to defend. The Seventh Circuit affirmed the grant of summary judgment, rejecting an argument that failure to apply an adequate amount of paint cannot be considered an “accident” that would constitute a covered “occurrence” under the policy. Westfield also argued that because the damage is to the building itself, which was a new construction and not an existing structure, the association has not demonstrated that there was property damage that is subject to its policy. The policy defines “occurrence” to include the “continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same harmful conditions,” so the allegation that National acted negligently was sufficient under Illinois law to constitute an “occurrence.” National’s actions allegedly damaged parts of the building that were outside of the scope of its work, so the complaint alleges potentially covered property damage sufficient to invoke the duty to defend.Read Opinion Are you a lawyer?
