We Would Get Sanctioned If We Behaved Like That
Litigation attorney Eric Alexander published a blog for Drug & Device Law analyzing Doe v. Oceanside Union Free School District, which reinforced the standards courts apply when evaluating medical exemption requests to school vaccination requirements. Eric examines the court's denial of a preliminary injunction after finding that the plaintiff failed to support her exemption request with sufficient medical evidence and relied on representations the court determined were inaccurate or misleading. Although the court rejected the requested relief and criticized the plaintiff's conduct, Eric notes that it stopped short of imposing sanctions and argues that stronger measures would better deter misconduct and help preserve confidence in the judicial process.
