handle is hein.ali/relwtrts0335 and id is 1 raw text is: TORTS Generally U.S.2020. Quot. generally in case quot. in diss. op. Pharmacist employed by the Department of Veterans Affairs sued the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, alleging that her supervisors discriminated against her based on her age in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The district court granted summary judgment for the government, and the court of appeals affirmed in part. This court reversed and remanded, holding that, while an employee who could not show that discrimination was a but-for cause of a personnel action was not entitled to relief that altered or compensated for the action, an employee who could show that age was a but-for cause of differential treatment in an employment decision was potentially entitled to injunctive or other forward-looking relief. The dissent cited a case that relied on various provisions of the Restatement of Torts in explaining that causation in fact was a standard requirement in any tort claim, including claims of discrimination. Babb v. Wilkie, 140 S.Ct. 1168, 1179. Cal.App.2020. Cit. generally in disc. Ship crewman brought, among other things, negligence claims under maritime law against reality-television production company that had entered into a filming agreement with the ship, alleging that defendant's film crew failed to provide prompt medical care to plaintiff for his fishing-related injuries. The trial court granted defendant's motion for summary judgment. This court affirmed, holding that defendant did not have a duty to rescue plaintiff. The court noted that maritime law looked to state law and the Restatement of Torts in defining a person's duty to act. McHenry v. Asylum Entertainment Delaware, LLC, 260 Cal.Rptr.3d 51, 59. Introduction Nev.2020. Intro. quot. in sup. In an action by property owner for trespass and breach of the peace against individuals and entities hired to repossess a vehicle from the property, this court reversed the trial court's grant of summary judgment and remanded for a determination as to whether defendants were liable under the reasonableness test described in Restatement Second of Torts § 198, which provided that a breach of the peace occurred when a secured party acted at a time or in a manner that was not reasonable during a self-help repossession. The court noted that the Restatement was published to present an orderly statement of the general common law of the United States, and that it was appropriate to apply the Restatement's reasonableness standard because the state's self-help repossession statute did not express a legislative intent to deviate from the common-law right to extrajudicial repossession. Droge v. AAAA Two Star Towing, Inc., 468 P.3d 862, 874. DIVISION ONE. INTENTIONAL HARMS TO PERSONS, LAND AND CHATTELS CHAPTER 2. INTENTIONAL INVASIONS OF INTERESTS IN PERSONALITY TOPIC 1.
