Clay v. Johns-Manville Sales Corp.

This case considers whether the deposition of Dr. Kenneth Wallace Smith, former medical director at a major asbestos firm, can be admitted under the former testimony exception. The case illustrates the application of the rule, and demonstrates a context where the rule really matters. 

(Note that one of the Comprehension Questions for today asks: What did the Clay case add to your understanding of the term “predecessor in interest”?)
