How courts have described this case

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

• finding Lehman possessed sufficient personal knowledge of military contracts during 1940s to establish first prong of colorable federal contractor defense
• discussing Betts affidavit and finding it sufficient to establish third prong of colorable federal defense
• finding Betts’s declaration that Navy knowledge of asbestos risks was “state-of-the-art” sufficient to show that “the Navy would have known of any dangers that were known to GE”
• “GE’s proffer has established that the Navy determined the nature of warnings to be included on the turbines.... This evidence in turn raises an inference that GE’s alleged failure to warn of the dangers of asbestos resulted from the Navy’s prohibition of any such warning.”
