Gerber Products Company v. Mitchell, Williams, Selig, Gates & Woodyard, Pllc, and Byron Freeland

Summary

The Arkansas Supreme Court rescinded its decision to answer a certified question concerning proximate cause and recovery of corrective fees in a legal-malpractice action. The court concluded that certification was improvidently granted because the Eighth Circuit had already addressed the issue presented. The court therefore did not decide whether Arkansas law permits Gerber to recover the claimed fees.
