In this medical malpractice case, a husband sued after his wife died allegedly from kidney failure after the defendant doctor performed surgery. At the trial, the husband testified about various issues, including his wife’s active lifestyle before the surgery, and date of the onset of kidney problems. After the trial, the husband quarrelled with his daughter, who then advised defense counsel that they both had “lied” while testifiying at the trial regarding issues in the case. She also advised about the existence of a diary that the husband failed to produce in response to a discovery request; the diary, among other things, contradicted the husband’s testimony regarding the onset of the kidney problems. The trial court dismissed the case after an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court reversed, holding: “The evidentiary conflicts regarding Mrs. Herman’s activity levels presented a classic jury question, and hardly amounted to clear and convincing evidence that the plaintiff undertook a scheme calculated to interfere with the judicial system’s ability to impartially adjudicate the matter.”
