Upjohn Co. v. United Statesgreen
scotus · 1981 · cited in 1 Arizona opinions naming this issue, 1993–1993
1 sentence

1993Chief Justice Burger wrote a concurring opinion eschewing the majority’s extremely fact-specific approach and distilling from the case a narrowing of the subject matter test to that conduct of an employee which could bind the corporation. 449 U.S. at 403 , 101 S.Ct. at 689 (Burger, C.J., concurring.) Instead of applying a narrower version of the subject matter test, the court of appeals below adopted a broad version for communications of non-control group employees, but then, because of the concerns we have already expressed, made it qualified.
