Fischer Imaging Corp. v. General Electric Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting argument by claimant that advisory jury’s verdict should retroactively become binding
• ordering new trial even though plaintiff did not request new trial
• finding a Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial in a declaratory judgment action, in which the plaintiff had not yet suffered injury, because, “absent declaratory judgment procedures,” the plaintiff’s claim would have “come to the court” in a suit on the contract
• “Reformation is an equitable remedy used to reframe written contracts to reflect accurately [the] real agreement between contracting parties . . . .”
• “An advisory jury is not the equivalent of a Seventh Amendment jury. … Therefore, we may not replace Fischer's Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial with an advisory jury's verdict.”
