handle is hein.ali/relwtrts0338 and id is 1 raw text is: THE AMERICAN LAW INSTITUTE TORTS DIVISION TWO. NEGLIGENCE CHAPTER 13. LIABILITY FOR CONDITION AND USE OF LAND TOPIC 1. LIABILITY OF POSSESSORS OF LAND TO PERSONS THEREON TITLE E. SPECIAL LIABILITY OF POSSESSORS OF LAND TO BUSINESS VISITORS § 343. Dangerous Conditions Known to or Discoverable by Possessor Mich.2021. Cit. in sup., cit. in ftn., cit. in conc. op., cit. and quot. in diss. op., cit. in case quot. in diss. op.; subsec. (b) quot. in diss. op. Employee filed a premises-liability suit against employer after she slipped and fell on snow and ice in employer's parking lot and was injured. The trial court denied employer's motion for summary judgment, and the court of appeals affirmed. Affirming, this court held that there was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the hazard was effectively unavoidable, such that employer was potentially liable under an exception to the general rule of nonliability for open and obvious dangers. The concurring and dissenting opinions both observed that the exception modified the bright-line rule originally created under Restatement of Torts § 343, which absolved a land possessor of any liability where an entrant on the land recognized the risk. Estate of Livings v. Sage's Investment Group, LLC, 968 N.W.2d 397, 405, 406, 409, 410, 422, 423. DIVISION THREE. ABSOLUTE LIABILITY CHAPTER 21. ULTRAHAZARDOUS ACTIVITIES OTHER THAN THE KEEPING OF WILD ANIMALS OR ABNORMALLY DANGEROUS DOMESTIC ANIMALS Conn.2021. Cit. in ftn. §§ 519-524, which constitutes all of Ch. 21. Employees of subcontractor and families brought, among other things, a claim for strict liability against natural-gas power plant owner and administrative agent, alleging that a gas-blow procedure used by defendants' contractor to clear debris from a natural-gas pipe caused an explosion that harmed employees. The trial court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment. This court affirmed, holding that plaintiffs' strict-liability claim failed as a matter of law, because defendants' gas-blow procedure was not abnormally dangerous. The court noted that case law sometimes referred to ultrahazardous activity in the context of strict- liability claims, and, under Restatement of Torts §§ 519-524, the term was used to refer to what would later be called abnormally dangerous activities.
