HOUSTON – An appeal that apparently warranted three separate opinions concluded with justices affirming a summary judgment win for Union Carbide in an asbestos lawsuit.
The suit was brought by the adult children of Janet Goehring and alleges asbestos fibers in products sold by Union Carbide were a substantial factor in causing her fatal mesothelioma.
Court records show a trial court granted Union Carbide’s motion for summary judgment, which argued the plaintiffs could produce no evidence that the company’s product was a substantial factor in causing Goehring’s mesothelioma.
The plaintiffs appealed the ruling, and on March 2 the 14th Court of Appeals affirmed.
The Year People Needed Carnival the Most, It Was Canceled
Loyal enthusiasts on what they missed in a year they needed Carnival the most.
Booming music. Glittering costumes. And perhaps even more important: the feeling of being free.
After a year of racial reckonings, the celebration of Carnival which provides a much-needed release for many revelers from London to New York to Toronto and beyond was canceled.
“The loss of Carnival goes beyond costumes, music, liming [socializing] and physical contact,” said Ingrid Persaud, a Trinidad and Tobago-born writer who lives in Britain.
Would-be Carnival attendees said they missed the exuberance, the roti and pepper pot, singing along with others on the road and the very act of gathering.
