Gurumurthy Kalyanaram – Reports on the Bhopal Tragedy Lawsuit against Union Carbide (US)

Dr Gurumurthy Kalyanaram - Former Dean and former NYIT and UT Dallas professor, and expert witness, Gurumurthy Kalyanaram reports on the Bhopal Tragedy lawsuit against Union Carbide (US).

A lawsuit filed by Earth Rights International in the U.S. District Court against Union Carbide (US) for the Bhopal Gas Tragedy was recently dismissed by Justice John Keenan. I am familiar with John Keenan’s decisions – he is generally inclined to grant motions for summary judgment unless the plaintiff in the lawsuit can show robust evidence of dispute of fact(s). Justice Keenan’s threshold is high. He has been a senior judge since mid-1990s.
