How courts have described this case

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

• “[N]othing about Altesse’s conduct—violative of [trial court’s injunctive order] though it may have been—supports a presumption that its claims . . . lack merit.”
• discussing a “death penalty” sanction which “made the plaintiffs better off than if they had succeeded on the merits of their claims”
• defining a death-penalty sanction as one in which “the offending party essentially loses the case because of the sanction” and that is “generally reserved for the most egregious cases in which the offending party’s conduct justifies a presumption that its claims lack merit”
