The program will review three current cases. In Wee v. Yangzhou Putian Shoemaking Co. (In re Unimex Corp.), decided May 13, 2024, in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of Virginia, the discussion revolved around updated F.R.E. 702 and how the court’s analysis struck the defendant’s valuation. The court’s analysis of the FRE 702 updates about the valuation was a valuable exercise.
In Vivint Solar, Inc. v. Lundberg (Court of Chancery of Delaware, Jun 18, 2024), the discussion involved a dispute between a Delaware corporation and one of its former employees over equity incentive awards. Why did the court strike all valuations and calculate its own valuation?
In a 2023 unpublished medical malpractice case, we will discuss the definition of punitive damages, causation, limitations, and the necessity of compensatory damages.
