Novartis cert. petition distributed for Sept. 30 conference

August 16, 2013

We previously reported on this pending cert. petition, which asks the Supreme Court to address the preemption of punitive damages claims against drug makers.  The Supreme Court asked the plaintiff to respond to the petition, which certainly doesn’t mean it will be granted, but does make it worth watching.  The online docket indicates that the Supreme Court will consider the petition at its September 30 conference.
