- Burden of proof where Defendant’s sexual conduct is claimed to be battery and Defendant raises the defense of consent. Rondini v. Bunn (N.D. Ala 2020.)
- Defendant’s liability based on being a “substantial factor” in the harm suffered by Plaintiff, including the modern tendency to reject the substantial-factor standard. Doull v. Foster (Mass. 2021).
- The “value of a chance” doctrine, used to make Defendant liable in medical-malpractice cases where Defendant’s negligence deprived Plaintiff of a less-than-50% chance at a recovery. Smith v. Providence Health & Services (Ore. 2017).
- The declining use of a later “superseding cause” as a reason to relieve Defendant of liability, where Plaintiff’s injury would not have occurred but for the occurrence of that event. Barry v. Quality Steel Prods. (Conn. 2003).
- Courts’ disallowance of liability for pure economic losses caused by Defendant in toxic-tort cases involving pollution of land or water. Southern Cal. Gas Leak Cases (Cal. 2019).
- Government liability for ministerial errors versus sovereign immunity for discretionary decisions. Lorman v. City of Rutland (Vt. 2018).
- Failure-to-warn liability where Defendant is the maker of a brand-name pharmaceutical, but Plaintiff was injured by faulty labeling of the generic version of the same drug made by someone other than Defendant. T.H. v. Novartis Pharma. (Cal. 2017).
