MARYLAND COURT OF APPEALS
MARYLAND COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS
Civil Procedure - Expert Opinions: Dorsey v. Nold, 2000 WL _________, CSA No. 1461 Sept. Term 1998. A doctor who, in the course of his employment as a state medical examiner, performs an autopsy and forms an opinion as to the cause of death is not an expert whose opinion is prepared in anticipation of litigation or trial. Therefore, it was not mandatory that his identity be disclosed under Md. Rule 2-402(e)(1).
Civil Procedure - Injunctions: El Bey v. Moorish Science Temple of America, 2000 WL __________, CSA No. 6269 Sept Term 1998. Absent a clear showing of abuse of discretion it was not in error for the trial court to issue injunctive relief even though the party seeking the injunction did not adduce evidence that it would suffer irreparable harm. Granting or denying of a request for injunctive relief rests within the sound discretion of the trial court.
Contracts: Joswick v. Chesapeake Mobile Homes, Inc., et al., 2000 WL ___________, CSA No. 402 Sept. Term 1999.
