PL 301--Torts
In class today, Monday 10/19, I handed back the Spencer case briefs, and we discussed the case, especially the dissenting opinion. We then discussed the Ruotolo Superior Court case. I distributed a handout of the Maine statute regarding use of force in defense of premises, which we discussed in connection with the textbook case of Katko v. Briney. I also went over the recent Maine case of Cilley v. Lane, 2009 WL 558273. The assignment for Wednesday 10/21 is to read and prepare to discuss these two Maine negligent infliction of emotional distress cases: Carter v. Williams,2002 ME 50 and Ryder v. USAA General Indemnity, 2007 ME 146.
