Petition of the day
The petition of the day is:
AvidAir Helicopter Supply, Inc. v. Rolls-Royce Corp.
Docket: 11-1366
Issue(s): (1) Whether maintenance related Federal Aviation Regulations (F.A.R.s) and/or orders promulgated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including 14 C.F.R. § 21.50, 14 C.F.R. § 33.4 and FAA Order 8110.54 must be
considered and enforced in a federal district court
and/or a United States Circuit Court of Appeals in
providing the appropriate standard of care for state
law remedies involving claims of misappropriation of
aviation overhaul/repair and maintenance information
alleged to be trade secrets; (2) whether an FAA authorized
aviation maintenance provider can be, in effect, required to
violate the law (F.A.R.s) through not being allowed to
possess current manufacturer maintenance
instructions; (3) whether a United States Circuit Court of
Appeals can selectively enforce only certain F.A.R.s on its
own volition and ignore other relevant F.A.R.s; (4) whether
a United States Circuit Court of Appeals can create a
definition of “value” of an alleged aviation related trade secret that is contrary to a controlling decision of
the United States Supreme Court; and (5) whether a
United States Circuit Court of Appeals can ignore
summary judgment evidence and decisions of its
Circuit and of the United States Supreme Court, which
deal directly with loss of trade secret protection.
