Maine Supreme Court Upholds Mold Testimony, Rejects Daubert

In a mold suit brought by home purchasers against the home's manufacturer, the Maine Supreme Court has upheld testimony from the plaintiffs' mold expert. In doing so, the court rejected defendants' invitation to adopt Daubert, but held that the result would be the same, whether under Daubert or the similar test set forth in State v. Williams, 388 A.2d 500 (Me. 1978). See Searles v. Fleetwood Homes of Pa., Inc., 2005 ME 94 (Aug. 5, 2005).
