Texas Supreme Court

Whirlpool Corporation, Petitioner v. Margarita Camacho, Respondents

December 11, 200953 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 179

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the expert testimony of design defect was legally insufficient to support the jury's verdict and that the proper standard of review for such a legal sufficiency challenge is a de novo-like review that considers both Robinson reliability factors and analytical gaps. The Court entered judgment for Whirlpool.
