Docket entry

071894 Fruiterman v. Granata 10/31/2008 (Revised 04/06/2009) In separate wrongful birth cases filed by the mother and father of twin daughters afflicted with Down syndrome, the circuit court judgment sustaining a jury verdict in favor of the mother is reversed because the evidence was insufficient as a matter of law to prove the element of proximate causation. In the father's case, the circuit court granted a motion to strike the evidence because the father failed to prove the existence of a physician-patient relationship, and that judgment is affirmed.
