Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard M. Edmonson, Edmonson Biggs Mozingo & Jelliffe, Jackson, for Appellant.

John H. Fox, III, Fox & Earwood, Jackson, for appellees.

Before PRATHER, P.J., and BANKS and SMITH, JJ.


BANKS, Justice, for the Court:

In this matter we consider what is the appropriate standard for levying sanctions upon counsel for alleged abusive use of subpoena power. We also consider whether there was sufficient evidence for the trial court to levy such sanctions. Finding that the trial court applied the wrong legal standard and that the record contains no evidence to support sanctions under the appropriate standard, we reverse.

I.
