Jason Scarborough and Mississippi Municipal Workers' Compensation Group v. Wanda J. Logan

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court held that the trial court erred by admitting unqualified expert testimony from a deposition, constituting an abuse of discretion that required reversal and a new trial. The Court also found the trial court abused its discretion by further reducing the jury’s comparative‑fault award, though that issue was dismissed as moot on the direct appeal. The decision was affirmed as reversed and remanded on the cross‑appeal.
