Torts – Strict Liability

admin//July 6, 2011//

Listen to this article

Appellant challenged the District Court’s grant of summary judgment on his negligence and strict-liability claims. The Court of Appeals concluded that the District Court appropriately granted summary judgment in favor of both respondents on appellant’s negligence claims. In granting summary judgment on appellant’s strict-liability claims, however, the District Court abused its discretion by sanctioning appellant for spoliation of evidence. Despite this error, summary judgment is still appropriate on appellant’s strict-liability claim against respondent IMPACT Resource Group, Inc. However, genuine issues of material fact exist regarding appellant’s strict-liability claim against respondent Target Corporation. Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
