Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court granted Caremark’s petition for a writ of mandamus, vacating the trial court’s August 1 order that required Caremark to produce class‑member information sixteen years after the Taff settlement. The Court held that the trial court lacked residual jurisdiction to modify its 2000 final judgment, and that mandamus was the proper remedy to correct this overreach. It declined to address the burden argument because the jurisdictional issue resolved the case.
