Miller v. Carolina Coast Emergency Physicians, LLC

Summary

The Supreme Court of North Carolina affirmed the Court of Appeals’ decision that the plaintiff reasonably believed her Rule 9(j) expert would testify against Harnett Health at the time the complaint was filed, and that the Court of Appeals correctly applied a de novo standard of review to the trial court’s exclusion of an expert under Rule 702. The Court held that both issues were decided correctly and affirmed the appellate judgment.
