AlliedSignal, Inc. v. Ott

I strongly disagree with the majority's decision to reverse the trial court's denial of summary judgment in this case. In particular, I believe that the majority is incorrect in: (1) limiting the statutory term "commercial asbestos" to mean only raw asbestos; (2) construing "mined and sold" contrary to legislative intent; (8) failing to find a violation of Article 1, Section 12, of the Indiana Constitution; (4) failing to find a violation of Article 1, Section 23, of the Indiana Constitution; and (5) overruling rather than following Covalt v. Carey Canada, Inc.
