Merchants' Despatch Transp. Co. v. United States

How courts have described this case

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

• granting summary judgment where the plaintiff had a dental exam one month prior to starting bisphosphonate treatment at which no issues with her later-extracted tooth were identified
• disregarding an expert’s affidavit that claimed a root canal would have been preferable to a tooth extraction because it flatly contradicted the expert’s previous testimony that extraction was the only option
• “Application of the sham affidavit rule at the summary judgment stage ‘must be carefully limited to situations involving flat contradictions of material fact.’”
