Informed Consent And The Investigational Use Of Medical Devices: A Comparison Of Common Law Duties With Those Imposed On Researchers Under Section 520(G) Of The Medical Device Amendments Of 1976, Thomas G. Field Jr., Dominic Piacenza
Law Faculty Scholarship
This paper will deal with with exemption granted [under the Medical Device Amendments Act of 1976] for the investigational use of devices subject to premarket testing, and more particularly, with the obligation of an investigator seeking such exemption to secure an informed consent agreement from human subjects (or their representatives) under § 520(g)(3)(D) of the Act. It will also consider the relationship between the statutory obligation and that which might be imposed by the common law of negligence.
Kentucky Law Survey: Torts, Richard C. Ausness
Kentucky Law Survey: Torts, Richard C. Ausness
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This issue of the Survey of Kentucky tort law includes recent decisions on false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and products liability. The first case, Consolidated Sales Co. v. Malone, held that Kentucky's shoplifter detention statute authorized a personal search of suspected shoplifters by store personnel. In the second case, Eigelbach v. Watts, the Kentucky Supreme Court adhered to its longstanding rule that physical impact was essential to an action for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Finally, in the third decision, McMichael v. American Red Cross, the Court, utilizing the Restatement's “unavoidably unsafe” rationale, refused to impose …

Allegheny Airlines, Inc. V. United States (Case Note), Gerald S. Reamey
Allegheny Airlines, Inc. V. United States (Case Note), Gerald S. Reamey
Faculty Articles
Under Allegheny Airlines, the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit held that a flying school/aircraft owner is engaged in a joint enterprise with its student pilots and is vicariously liable for the student’s negligent acts. This Court and others have developed the principle that the vicarious liability of an aircraft owner for the actions of the pilot is dependent upon the existence of a principal/agent relationship between the owner and pilot. Courts developed this legal fiction to enable recovery by injured parties against the financially responsible principal, rather than effectively denying recovery by forcing personal judgments against …

From Caveat Emptor To Strict Liability: A Review Of Products Liability In Florida, Richard C. Ausness
From Caveat Emptor To Strict Liability: A Review Of Products Liability In Florida, Richard C. Ausness
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Since the doctrine of caveat emptor gave way to a more enlightened response, the courts have struggled to place the law of products liability on a proper doctrinal foundation. Negligence, implied warranty, and strict liability have been used, but as yet no universally accepted theory has emerged. In light of this problem this article will trace the development of seller's liability in Florida. Special emphasis will be placed upon implied warranty; in addition, the relationship between existing Florida case law, strict liability under the Restatement of Torts and the warranty provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code will be examined.

Legal Issues Relating To Electroconvulsive Therapy, H. Richard Beresford
Legal Issues Relating To Electroconvulsive Therapy, H. Richard Beresford
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
A survey of 54 psychiatric units disclosed that 49 (91%) were using electroconvulsive (ECT), principally for major depressive illnesses. During the five-year period 1964 to 1968, fractures and other complications of ECT were uncommon. Sudden death was reported in seven cases. During this period, none of the respondents or their affiliated physicians had been involved in lawsuits relating to the use of ECT. In general, suits for injuries occasioned by the use of ECT seem to be declining. Possible remaining problem areas are the performance of ECT without the prior consent of the patient; the failure to have facilities and …
Scienter Requirement In Actions Under Rule 10b-5, David G. Epstein
Scienter Requirement In Actions Under Rule 10b-5, David G. Epstein
Law Faculty Publications
More than twenty years have now elapsed since a private right of action under rule 10b-5 was first recognized judicially. In the interim, rule 10b-5 has become "the most prolific source of litigation since Henry Ford invented the flivver." And, the Rule is assuming even greater importance. Private actions under 10b-5 in excess of seventy-seven million dollars have been instituted against Texas Gulf Sulphur and its officers and directors. The Securities and Exchange Commission proposals to implement the Wheat Report will result in an increased emphasis on 10b-5. Notwithstanding the importance of rule 10b-5 and the numerous reported decisions and …

Strict Liability In Tort: A Modest Proposal, David G. Epstein
Strict Liability In Tort: A Modest Proposal, David G. Epstein
Law Faculty Publications
Centuries ago, the noted Irish satirist, Jonathan Swift, made a "modest proposal' that the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle remedy a severe food shortage they were experiencing by eating their young. To some, a proposal of the adoption of strict liability in tort-regardless of how limited-is no more a modest proposal than Mr. Swift's. It is submitted that this opposition to strict liability in tort is at least in part due to a misunderstanding of the present state of the law as to a manufacturer's liability to injured consumers. In most jurisdictions, the adoption of strict liability in tort for …

Jesse Carter Opinions
Although a driver rear-ended another car, there was sufficient evidence for a jury to conclude that the driver took reasonable steps to maintain his brakes, and therefore the driver was able to overcome the statutory presumption of negligence.

Leonard V. Watsonville Community Hospital [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter
Jesse Carter Opinions
Grant of nonsuit as to doctor was proper because the testimony of patient's adverse parties was clear and uncontradicted to effect he was not responsible for leaving clamp in patient's abdomen and there was no rational ground to disbelieve testimony.

No prejudicial error existed when the jury instructions correctly informed the jury about the shooter's degree of care in firing a gun on a skeet range and informed the jury about contributory negligence and assumption of the risk.

Danner V. Atkins [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter
Jesse Carter Opinions
In a case involving a truck's unexplained collision with a building, doctrine of res ipsa loquitur did not apply as to truck driver where the truck was under the control of a mechanic rather than of the driver just before the accident.

In a pedestrian's personal injury action, the trial court properly submitted the issue of an automobile driver's negligence to the jury where the evidence presented a question of fact as to that issue.

Hilyar V. Union Ice Co., Jesse W. Carter
Jesse Carter Opinions
Nonsuit as to driver was improper in injured minor's personal injury action because evidence was sufficient on negligence issue to permit submission to jury but nonsuit was proper as to corporation because evidence of agency was insufficient.
Jensen V. Minard [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter
Jensen V. Minard [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter
Jesse Carter Opinions
The trial court erred in giving certain instructions requested by defendant because the jury should not have been foreclosed from considering evidence provided by the happening of the accident itself in determining whether defendant was negligent.
