Talk about putting out fires. In the 11th District Court in Houston, John Engvall Jr. successfully defended a candle maker and a candle seller against a deceptive trade practice suit filed by a pet store. The store filed its suit after an odor-removing candle, made and sold by Engvall’s clients, went up in flames and damaged the retailer’s property. The pet store’s 24-hour security cameras captured the conflagration.
On April 13, 11th District Judge Michael D. Miller issued a final take-nothing judgment favorable to the candle makers and the seller in Pet City v. Bramton Company, et al. A jury had found on Feb. 10, 2012, that the alleged negligence of the candle seller the only defendant who appeared as a potential liable party on the jury charge was not responsible for damages claimed by the plaintiff.
