In a March 2025 ruling in favor of WERC’s client, the judge stated that James Royston’s report and testimony were far more thorough than the opposing expert; he reviewed a far greater volume of evidence; and his testimony thoroughly exposed the opposing expert’s conclusions as speculative and unsupported by the evidence.
