Texas Supreme Court

In Re Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Relators

July 14, 199841 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1197

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in consolidating the breast‑implant claims of nine plaintiffs for a single trial and therefore denied the petition for mandamus; a dissent argued the consolidation was arbitrary and prejudicial and would have granted mandamus.
