Celotex Corporation v. Catrett | 477 U.S. 317 (1986)
Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governs the entry of summary judgment in federal court. Prior to the 2010 amendment, Rule 56(c) provided that a court may grant summary judgment as a matter of law if the pleadings, depositions, interrogatories, and affidavits demonstrate that there’s no genuine issue of material fact.
In Celotex Corporation versus Catrett, Myrtle Catrett brought a wrongful death action on behalf of her husband against Celotex and over a dozen other asbestos manufacturers in federal court in Washington, D.C. Myrtle claimed exposure to these manufacturers’ asbestos caused her husband to die from an asbestos-related illness.
