Just Like Your Dad, You'll Never Change

I ran across this interesting editorial in today's Wall Street Journal concerning the upcoming oral arguments that will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Stoneridge v. Scientific Atlanta.

The essential question posed by the case is whether a business can be sued for doing business with another firm because the 2nd firm engaged in fraudulent activity that the first business had no knowledge of, or at the most, was passively involved in. The trial court and appeals court answered no, but we will have to wait and see how Roberts & Co. tackle a question that if answered in the affirmative could lead to an avalanche of new lawsuits.
