Gordon v. Parrish

How courts have described this case

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

• stating that although local case management deadlines are court orders and are not “meaningless” and “[w]hen these deadlines are violated with impunity, as was done by the [appellants] in this case, the abusing party must be prepared to pay the consequences”
• excluding an expert report and granting appellees’ motion for summary judgment after appellants continually violated court-ordered deadlines and the expert witness report was submitted the day of trial
• affirming the trial court decision to disregard an untimely expert report when the party offering the expert report continually violated court ordered deadlines, and produced the expert report on the day the parties were supposed to go to trial
• “[Preclusion of testimony is a drastic sanction, and it should be done only where the facts of the case make it necessary; the prejudice may not be assumed.”
• “The fact that [appellant’s expert] never came to a pre-anticipation-of-litigation conclusion as to whether [the physician] breached [his] standard of care and whether such a breach was the proximate cause of the harm [the child] suffered is fatal to this claim.”
