       TORTS 3D: LIABILITY FOR PHYSICAL AND

                              EMOTIONAL HARM





   Generally

   N.J.2015. Parallel table 2 cit. in ftn. In property owners' action against neighbor who owned a leaking
   underground oil-storage tank, this court affirmed the determination that plaintiffs failed to state a claim
   against defendant for nuisance or trespass under the Restatement Second of Torts §§ 822, 824, or 166,
   noting that those standards had not been altered under the Restatement Third of Torts: Liability for
   Physical and Emotional Harm. Ross v. Lowitz, 120 A.3d 178, 185, 188.

   Introduction

   Ariz.App.2015.  Intro. Note quot. in disc. Locksmith who was hired to change the locks on a house after
   a foreclosure brought a negligence action against landowners whose tenant, unaware of the foreclosure,
   shot plaintiff; plaintiff alleged that defendants were negligent in failing to inform tenant of the
   foreclosure and of the possibility that someone could inspect the property and change the locks. The trial
   court granted summary judgment for defendants. This court affirmed, holding that plaintiff failed to
   establish that defendants owed him a duty of care under Arizona law. The court determined that plaintiff
   failed to show that a duty of care based on Restatement Second of Torts § 321 should be imposed in this
   case, noting that Restatement Third of Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm replaced and
   superseded relevant sections of Restatement Second of Torts. Alcombrack v. Ciccarelli, 238 Ariz. 538,
   544, 363 P.3d 698, 704.



           CHAPTER 1. INTENT, RECKLESSNESS, AND NEGLIGENCE: DEFINITIONS

   § 3. Negligence

   C.A.9, 2015. Cit. in ftn. to diss. op. Widow of hiker who was attacked and killed in a national park by an
   aggressive 370-pound male goat sued the United States and the National Park Service for negligence
   under the Federal Tort Claims Act, alleging that park officials breached their duty of reasonable care by
   failing to destroy the goat in the years leading up to hiker's death. The district court granted defendants'
   motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Affirming, this court held that the
   discretionary-function exception to the Act's waiver of immunity applied, because the decision to use
   nonlethal methods to manage the goat was susceptible to policy analysis. The dissent argued that
   defendants' inaction was the result of negligence, rather than a discretionary decision to delay or decline
   to relocate or remove the goat, and cited the definition of negligence set forth in Restatement Third of
   Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm § 3 in reasoning that the exercise of discretion was the
   essence of most negligence, and that the existence of discretion was of little value for distinguishing
