The case of the day is In re Petition of Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (7th Cir. 2014). Judge Posner, who wrote the opinion and is also the author of the Heraeus Kulzer and GEA Group cases, continues to show a strong interest in international judicial assistance. The case arose on a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to challenge an unusual discovery sanction—an order requiring depositions of foreign witnesses to take place in the United States.
