Retribution And Deterrence: The Role Of Punitive Damages In Products Liability Litigation, Richard C. Ausness
Retribution And Deterrence: The Role Of Punitive Damages In Products Liability Litigation, Richard C. Ausness
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Punitive damages constitute an award to an injured party above what is necessary to compensate for actual loss. This Article considers whether punitive damages are an effective means of promoting the goals of products liability law. Section I traces the use of punitive damages in products liability litigation from the early 1960's to the present time. Section II examines the traditional rationales for punitive damages and considers whether they are appropriate in the products liability context. Finally, Section III evaluates some of the measures that commentators have proposed to adapt more fully the concept of punitive damages to products liability …

Strategic And Scientific Considerations In Toxic Tort Defense, Richard O. Faulk
Strategic And Scientific Considerations In Toxic Tort Defense, Richard O. Faulk
Richard Faulk
The past decade has seen a dramatic increase in suits for injuries resulting from exposure to toxic substances. Since these suits commonly involve multiple defendants, highly technical scientific testimony, unusual legal theories, and many years of alleged exposure, they present a novel form of complex litigation and pose sophisticated problems in many phases of trial preparation. As toxic tort litigation continues to proliferate, an increasing number of practitioners will face the prospect of defending these actions. This article centers on pretrial considerations, and is intended as an orientation for the practitioner who must defend toxic tort cases without substantial experience …
Products Liability And The Chemical Manufacturer: Limitations On The Duty To Warn, Richard O. Faulk
Products Liability And The Chemical Manufacturer: Limitations On The Duty To Warn, Richard O. Faulk
Richard Faulk
In the last decade, the principles of strict liability have been expanded to encompass virtually every type of injury caused by a manufacturer's product. Indeed, at least one state has effectively imposed absolute liability, under which a manufacturer is liable for all harm caused by its product, regardless of whether the injury was foreseeable at the time of manufacture. When the product is an identifiable object, such as an automobile or a household tool, conduct-related defenses, such as misuse, voluntary assumption of the risk, and contributory negligence, may apply. In the case of industrial chemicals, however, additional considerations are important. …

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
About the only thing a teacher of tort law can be sure of is that each year he or she will witness new efforts, some successful and most not, to extend the reach and effect of the law of private wrongs. Last year's Survey article analyzed a wide range of tort issues and while New York courts handed down fewer tort opinions of broad implication this Survey year, there is much to study and to apply in future litigation. As always, tort law is a somewhat quixotic but nonetheless valid barometer of shifting societal and judicial values about the nature …

Tender Offer Litigation And State Law, Mark J. Loewenstein
Tender Offer Litigation And State Law, Mark J. Loewenstein
Publications
The recent spate of hostile takeover battles has focused attention and criticism on the federal securities laws. Most claims of defeated offerors and disappointed shareholders have been based on sections 14(e) and 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The United States Supreme Court, however, has limited such federal remedies and suggested that plaintiffs bring state-law actions for interference with a prospective economic advantage. Professor Loewenstein discusses this tort, which has not been used widely in this context, and reviews the tort's traditional elements, its formulation in the Restatement (Second) of Torts, and its recent treatment by state courts. …
