In Re Union Carbide Corporation, Relator

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court abused its discretion by failing to rule on Union Carbide's motion to strike the Hall survivors' intervention before severing the claims, affirmed that the trial court possessed discretion to grant such a motion, found that Union Carbide lacked an adequate appellate remedy, and conditionally granted mandamus directing the trial court to vacate the severance and grant the motion to strike.
