Rahul K. Nath, M.d., Petitioner v. Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court properly sanctioned Dr. Nath for filing time‑barred and irrelevant pleadings but erred by failing to consider the extent to which Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor caused their own attorney’s fees; therefore the Court reversed the appellate court’s affirmation and remanded for a reassessment of the sanctions amount. The Court also rejected Nath’s waiver argument and affirmed the due‑process requirements for sanctions awards.
