• Tatera v. FMC Corp. (2010). The Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed the court of appeals and left in place summary judgment for FMC on the negligence claim, so Vicki Tatera and Walter Tatera's estate lost.
• State v. Harenda Enterprises, Inc. (2008). The Wisconsin Supreme Court reversed the court of appeals and reinstated the circuit court's summary judgment for the State against Harenda Enterprises, holding that a single layer of a multi-layer sample with more than one percent asbestos makes the material ACM.
