Docket entry
090194 Roberts v. CSX Transportation, Inc. 01/15/2010 In a personal injury action brought against a railroad under the Federal Employers' Liability Act, the circuit court erred in failing to strike for cause a potential juror who was a long time stockholder of the defendant railroad, thereby forcing the plaintiff to use a peremptory challenge to remove that juror from the jury panel. While federal substantive law governs the determination of rights and obligations in a FELA action, Virginia law governs the disposition of this error affecting a party's rights in jury selection of this action in Virginia circuit court. The judgment is reversed and the case is remanded for a new trial.
