Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, Petitioner v. Nishika Ltd., Lentec Corporation, American 3d Ltd., And…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Minnesota law governs the warranty dispute, that two of the plaintiffs lacking a direct purchase relationship cannot recover lost profits, that the plaintiffs may not recover jointly as a single economic unit, and that the trial court’s lump‑sum damages charge was not waived and therefore requires a new trial for the remaining plaintiffs. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
