How courts have described this case

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

• “a party should only be penalized for destroying documents if it was wrong to do so”
• “We do not consider arguments neither raised nor ruled on by the court below and that are asserted for the first time on appeal.”
• appellants raised argument for first time on appeal that testimony was admissible because appellees had “opened the door”
• since presumption of spoliation should apply only in exceptional circumstances involving wrongful conduct, trial court did not err in refusing to give charge concerning doctor’s failure to complete patient’s chart
