How a tech who knows nothing about the v. tort case sees things:
• Ms. Paltrow, a Hollywood A-lister with a matching reputation for entitlement, ploughs into Dr. Sanderson, a 76yo, on the slopes—not an uncommon thing among amateur skiers
• The good doctor, a 76yo pensioner, should have been on the bunny slope, but no—I'm more than two decades junior to the doctor, but common sense and my own judgement say I belong on the bunny slope; no shame, no harm, just fun
• Dr. Sanderson sues Ms. Paltrow for $300k—not an unreasonable amount to cover medical bills and pain-and-suffering damages
• Ms. Paltrow counter sues for $1 damages and legal fees

I'm a tech lawyer, not a tort lawyer. But my common sense says Ms. Paltrow should settle the case for significantly less than $300k, instead of wasting the court's precious time. But....

A lovely gift in this morning’s post from my Polish colleague and friend Prof Ewa Baginska. No excuse for me now not being up on Polish tort law 🇵🇱

The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that a state cap on noneconomic damages is unconstitutional as applied to a woman who sued her childhood friend’s father for sexually abusing her during sleepovers when she was 11 and 12 years old. ow.ly/LfeY50M7uC8

Who let the Empire build a Death Star with unextended bridges and walkways without railings across gaping drops? They’re just inviting a premises liability suit.

This false imprisonment case is all too reminiscent of the false imprisonment claims married women tried, but were not allowed, to assert under coverture and chattel marriage law. reuters.com/legal/government/a

Judge Gamble, at today’s post verdict conference: “There is no question to me this is a rare instance that is so severe, where a defendant intentionally inflicted severe emotional distress in a manner so unusual, that the victims had no other recognized theory of redress.” 3/3
