McCann v. Foster Wheeler LLC
McCann v....(Cal., Civil Procedure, Injury And Tort Law, Manufacturing, Product Liability) In an action brought by a plaintiff suffering from mesothelioma alleging exposure to asbestos from boilers manufactured by defendant, court of appeals judgment finding that California law applied to the case is reversed where: 1) Oklahoma’s interest would be more impaired if its laws were not applied under the circumstances of the case than would be California’s interest if its statute of limitations is not applied; and 2) on remand, the court must address plaintiff’s additional contention that the trial court erred in finding that the boiler in question constituted an improvement to real property within the meaning of the relevant Oklahoma statute of repose.
