This means that Dana Ivy was acting normal and not like she was drunk at the party, with the thirty plus people at the party. This all means that there was no way you could say that Dana Ivy was clearly drunk because she was acting like the thirty plus people at the party. No one knows exactly if Sandy Hearst knew that Dana Ivy drove to the party. Dana Ivy and Lee Porter arrived together at the party. Lee Porter states “ we arrived at eleven o'clock but it took us a while to find a place to park”.

    Assignment I- Case Brief: McCarty v. Pheasant Run , Inc.

    Ultimately, the court did not see it Mrs. McCarty’s way. McCarty argued the judge should have granted her motion for judgment notwithstanding the jury’s verdict for the defendant. McCarty did not request the directed verdict on the issue of Pheasant Runs negligence which is a prerequisite to judgment n.o.v. Many accidents are neither the injurer nor the victims fault and therefore there is no liability. The judge advised Mrs. McCarty that the case was not as one sided as she believed it to be. Additionally, following a jury’s verdict, a judge cannot substitute its judgment when the judgment was reasonable (2). Mrs. McCarty did a poor job in proving that Pheasant Run could have prevented her attack with her advised precautions. Mrs. McCarty did not provide information of what it would cost Pheasant Run to equip the hotel rooms with improved locking systems…

    Student Safety Case Summary

    Plaintiff’s injury occurred while attempting to break up a physical altercation between students, McNeil (Syracuse) and DiSanti (Slippery Rock). Subsequently, plaintiff filed civil suit against defendants’ seeking compensatory damages. Plaintiff alleged that defendant “failed or refused” (O’Connor v. Syracuse, 2008, p. 2) to disclose a witness account as conveyed by teenager Katherine Jabowski and recorded by a Syracuse officer. Jabowski recalled that an officer had indeed taken a statement from her. However, since she could not remember all of the details, she requested an opportunity to view her original statement. Plaintiff moved to have the court impose sanction against defendant for refusing to present Jabowski’s statement and the recording officer. Defendant countered that Jabowski’s statement did not exist. Nor could defendant present an officer in its employ that recalled taking the statement. Further, defendant argued “inter alia” that since plaintiff intervened in the altercation on his own accord, he was responsible for his injury. In light of that, defendant moved for summary judgment. Plaintiff contested that his injury resulted because of defendants: (1) failure to provide adequate security for the event, ultimately leading to the altercation; and that (2) McNeil and DiSanti’s irresponsible behavior placed attendees in clear and present danger. It should be mentioned that McNeil and DiSanti motioned to have plaintiffs claim against them…
