PL 301--Torts
In class today, Wednesday 9/9, we continued our discussion of the concept of "duty". I distributed two handouts, one the Maine statute regarding Good Samaritans, and the other the Maine statute regarding disclosure of a patient's violent threats. We talked more about the cases discussed last week, Joy and Flanders, and how the Law Court distinguished Joy. I went over one additional Maine duty case, Brian R. v. Watchtower Society, 1999 ME 144, 738 A.2d 839. We discussed the Munstermann case from the text. We will pick up with the concept of negligence per se. The assignment for Monday 9/14 is to review the rest of Chapter 2 and the previously assigned exercises, and to read in addition Chapter 3 of the text.
