                                          TORTS





  Generally

  M.D.Tenn.2015.  Cit. generally in sup. Purchaser of an electric air cleaner brought, inter alia, various
  tort claims and an unjust-enrichment claim against manufacturer, alleging that the cleaner caused an
  increase in ozone that resulted in plaintiff and his family suffering from various respiratory illnesses, and
  that defendant's retention of the economic benefit it received from sales of the cleaner constituted unjust
  enrichment. This court granted defendant's motion for summary judgment, holding that plaintiff s
  unjust-enrichment claim was based on the same allegations as his tort claims, which failed to raise a
  genuine issue of material fact. The court cited the Restatement of Torts in noting that, under New Jersey
  law, which applied in this case, unjust enrichment was not an independent cause of action in tort law.

  Or.2016. Cit. generally in ftn. After a jury trial, criminal defendant was convicted of ten counts of
  aggravated murder, among other things, and received two sentences of death based on his involvement
  in a bank bombing that killed two law-enforcement officers. This court affirmed, holding that there was
  sufficient evidence that defendant's conduct was a cause-in-fact of the victims' deaths. The court
  concluded that the prosecution was not required to provide evidence of proximate or legal cause, and
  noted that, while the Restatement of Torts and the Restatement Second of Torts shifted terminology
  from proximate cause to legal cause, Restatement Third of Torts: Liability for Physical and
  Emotional Harm  § 26 identified the principles that limited the scope of liability for conduct that caused
  harm in fact rather than treating the issue as one of causation. State v. Turnidge, 374 P.3d 853, 917.

  § 21. Assault

  Ga.2016. Subsecs. (1) and (1)(a) quot. in diss. op.; subsec. (2) cit. in diss. op. Criminal defendant
  appealed from a jury conviction of aggravated assault, after he rapidly drove his van toward his
  girlfriend's adult son, pinning him against the side of his mobile home. The court of appeals affirmed.
  This court affirmed, holding that the trial court did not err in concluding that the crime of simple assault
  under Georgia law did not require the defendant to have the specific intent to cause the victim to suffer
  injury or the apprehension of injury, and instead required only an intent to do the act that placed the
  victim in reasonable apprehension of an imminent and violent injury. The dissent argued that both
