The state Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on the summary judgment threshold in an asbestos case.
In a one-page order issued October 11, the justices granted allocatur to determine whether the state Superior Court misapplied the high court’s 2007 holding in Gregg v. V-J Auto Parts when it allowed an asbestos suit to proceed against several manufacturers despite the plaintiff’s submission of what the defendants said were “generic, non-case-specific expert affidavits” in place of specific evidence of the regularity, frequency and proximity of his exposure to an asbestos product.
