Appellate panel hears argument and recesses; decision pending
Summary
After argument on the special verdict question and spoliation allegations in Saul v. Ringle, the panel recessed and did not announce a decision from the bench; an opinion is expected later.
The court convened and the clerk announced the case. Counsel argued for the parties on the special verdict question and on discovery/spoliation issues; the panel asked multiple questions of counsel about the record and the interplay between the plaintiff's trial theory and the statute‑of‑limitations defenses. "The case is submitted," the clerk said after argument. The court then recessed; a judge announced, "We're in recess."
No decision was delivered from the bench. The panel will issue a written opinion at a later date, which is the usual practice in appeals; the court gave no timeline for that opinion during the session.
