How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- suggesting that in the context of an action for spoilation of evidence, notification of potential litigation triggers the obligation to preserve evidence
- holding that no spoliation claim existed where the defendant \was not under any statutory or contractual duty to maintain or preserve the transformer in question\ and no evidence showed the defendant received actual notice before destroying the transformer
- neither rejecting nor accepting the argument that there might be “some type of common law duty to preserve [evidence] after being notified of possible legal action”
