In the case of Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd. v. Howard Industries, Inc., No. 2:17-cv-00179 (S.D. Miss. 2019), the testimony of a Utilities Expert Witness was central to addressing allegations of product defects and evaluating the performance and reliability of electrical transformers supplied to a utility company.
Background of the Case
Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd. (CUC), a utility provider based in the Cayman Islands, brought a lawsuit against Howard Industries, Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer of electrical transformers.

The key legal questions centered on whether the transformers were defective due to manufacturing errors or failed due to conditions outside the manufacturer’s control.
