                                          TORTS



        DIVISION   ONE.  INTENTIONAL HARMS TO PERSONS, LAND AND CHATTELS

     CHAPTER 1. MEANING OF TERMS USED THROUGHOUT THE RESTATEMENT OF
                                              TORTS

  § 12. Reason to Know; Should Know

  D.N.M.2020. Cit. in sup. Mother and personal representative of deceased minor child brought, among
  other things, a strict-products-liability claim in state court against retail store and store manager, alleging
  that store manager was in charge of the premises at the time plaintiffs purchased a toy that caused child
  to asphyxiate. After removal, this court denied plaintiffs' motion to remand, holding that non-diverse
  store manager was fraudulently joined, because plaintiffs could not establish a strict-liability claim
  against her. Citing Restatement of Torts § 12 and Restatement Second of Torts § 12, the court explained
  that plaintiffs failed to allege that store manager knew or had reason to know that the toy was defective
  such that it could harm child. Schmidt v. International Playthings LLC, 503 F.Supp.3d 1060, 1122.



         CHAPTER 2. INTENTIONAL INVASIONS OF INTERESTS IN PERSONALITY

                TOPIC  4. THE  INTEREST IN FREEDOM FROM CONFINEMENT

  § 35. False Imprisonment

  U.S.2021. Cit. in sup. Former suspect filed a § 1983 action against state police officers, alleging that
  they used excessive force when she fled from them by shooting at her 13 times, striking her twice. The
  district court granted summary judgment for officers, finding that suspect was not seized because she
  eluded arrest after being shot, and the court of appeals affirmed. This court vacated and remanded,
  holding that the application of physical force to the body of a person with the intent to restrain was a
  seizure, even if the force did not succeed in subduing the person. The court cited Restatement of Torts
  §§ 35 and 41 in reasoning that the element of confinement required for false imprisonment demanded no
  more than that the defendant had for one moment taken possession of the plaintiff's person, and the
  touching alone of the person against whom legal authority was asserted was sufficient to constitute
  confinement by arrest when the authority was valid. Torres v. Madrid, 141 S.Ct. 989, 1000.

  § 41. Confinement by Asserted Legal Authority

  U.S.2021. Quot. in sup.; com. (h) quot. in sup. Former suspect filed a § 1983 action against state police
  officers, alleging that they used excessive force when she fled from them by shooting at her 13 times,
  striking her twice. The district court granted summary judgment for officers, finding that suspect was
  not seized because she eluded arrest after being shot, and the court of appeals affirmed. This court
  vacated and remanded, holding that the application of physical force to the body of a person with the
  intent to restrain was a seizure, even if the force did not succeed in subduing the person. The court cited
