Bujol v. Entergy Servs. opinion on rehearing

On May 25, 2004, we reported on the Louisiana Supreme Court's decision in Bujol v. Entergy Services, Inc., in which the Court reversed a jury verdict against a parent corporation, in a personal-injury and wrongful-death suit arising from injuries to three of the subsidiary's employees. The Court later granted rehearing. Today, the Court released its opinion on rehearing, reaffirming its original opinion.

In its original opinion, the Court applied a de novo standard of appellate review. In its opinion on rehearing, the Court reached the same result under manifest-error review.
