Tommie Patterson, Appellant v. Sheila Cox and Ford Motor Company, Appellees

Summary

The court reversed the judgment and remanded for a new trial because the special verdict form omitted Patterson's strict products liability theory against Ford and because the superior court failed to compel Cox's appearance after she disobeyed a subpoena. The court also upheld the denial of Patterson's recusal motions, finding no abuse of discretion or appearance-of-impropriety basis requiring disqualification. No separate opinions were filed.
