State’s top court urged to stand by 2022 ruling that overturned 90-year-old precedent

When the N.C. Supreme Court voted last year to overturn a 90-year-old precedent involving nurses’ legal liability, just three of the seven justices endorsed the change. Defendants in the case now hope the court will step back into the dispute to clarify the impact of a three-judge majority opinion. Plaintiffs in the case filed paperwork Thursday urging the court to stand by its 2022 decision.
