Supreme Court of Iowa.

July 1, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Susanna M. Albaugh of Dickinson, Mackaman, Tyler & Hagen, P.C., Des Moines, for appellants.

Allan H. Rauch, Des Moines, for appellee.

Considered by HARRIS, P.J., and LARSON, CARTER, NEUMAN, and TERNUS, JJ.

LARSON, Justice.

This is an appeal by the defendants in a medical malpractice case. The issue is whether the general rules for establishing a prima facie case of malpractice apply in small claims trials. The district associate judge, and the district court, concluded that the rules do not apply in the relatively informal proceedings of small claims court. We granted the defendants' application for discretionary review and now reverse and remand.
