Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. Broaddus v. Shields was overruled in part: all 43 flagged citations have been read, and the confirmed treatment is listed below. Hill v. Tangherlini rejected Broaddus's suggestion that a party's own evidence cannot create a material factual dispute at summary judgment merely because it is self-serving.
More on how this was screened

Later courts continued to apply Broaddus on reconsideration, contractual indemnification, and other points.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

43 later cases cite Broaddus v. Shields; 43 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
