Shandong Linglong Rubber Company, Ltd. v. Tire Engineering & Distribution, LLC
Petition for certiorari denied on January 7, 2013
Issue: (1) Whether, where one or more of the underlying theories of recovery are set aside after trial, a court must vacate the jury’s general verdict (as this Court and five courts of appeals have held) or instead apply a “harmless error” exception (as seven courts of appeals, including the court below, have held); and (2) if such an exception exists, what the standard for determining whether the error is harmless is.
