Texas Supreme Court rules against Toyota in rollover case
The carmaker is ordered to face contempt charges in a suit filed by
a paralyzed woman who received a $1.5-million settlement. She now says she settled only because the firm withheld documents.

According to Biller's suit against Toyota, filed in federal court in California,
Toyota " conspired and continues to conspire, to unlawfully withhold evidence from plaintiffs " in rollover cases. Biller specifically mentioned several cases he handled for Toyota, among them the Green case.
In a 2006 internal e-mail subpoenaed by Congress this year, Biller wrote that
he was forced to settle with Green to prevent her from gaining access to certain company documents, known as "Books of Knowledge."
"Frankly," Biller wrote in the e-mail, "plaintiff's discovery efforts … were getting too close to requiring [Toyota] to produce the 'Books of Knowledge.' "
Biller had been subpoenaed to testify in the Green case in February, but just before his appearance, Toyota asked the state Supreme Court for the stay. The automaker's attorney in the case, former Texas Solicitor Gen. R. Ted Cruz, argued that the state court lost jurisdiction 30 days after the case was originally dismissed.
With the stay lifted, Biller will probably be able to testify in the matter, which is before Johnson County District Judge John Neill in Cleburne, outside Fort Worth. Embry said he would attempt to get Biller back in court as soon as possible and that he expected a formal hearing on the contempt motion in as little as four weeks.
"We are disappointed that Mr. Biller is using the tragedy of Ms. Green's accident to further his own claims against Toyota, which we strongly dispute and will continue to fight," the company said in its statement.
Biller's own suit against Toyota, filed in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, is pending and in arbitration. The arbitrator in that case is considering whether thousands of Toyota documents held by Biller are privileged or whether they can be made public based on Biller's charges that they contain evidence of fraud.
