TORTS 3D: LIABILITY FOR PHYSICAL AND
EMOTIONAL HARM
Generally
D.N.M.2023. Cit. generally in sup. In an action in which a commercial farm owned by the Navajo
Nation claimed that the United States negligently failed to maintain an irrigation system that provided
water to the farm, this court denied defendant's motion to dismiss based on sovereign immunity, holding
that, even if defendant's duty to provide water originally stemmed from a federal statute or a related
contract, once defendant accepted responsibility for maintaining the system, it had a duty, under New
Mexico tort law, to maintain the system with reasonable care. The court noted that, as a general matter,
for actions in negligence, New Mexico courts followed the duty framework of the Restatement Third
of Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm. Navajo Agricultural Products Industry v. United
States, 608 F.Supp.3d 1060, 1066, 1067.
Pa.Cmwlth.2023. Cit. generally in ftn. County sued lead-paint manufacturer, alleging that defendant's
lead paint, which was found in a substantial number of homes in plaintiff's jurisdiction, was a public
nuisance. The trial court overruled defendant's preliminary objections. This court reversed and
remanded, holding that plaintiff failed to allege that defendant's lead paint constituted a public nuisance.
The court explained that, while numerous private homes in plaintiffs jurisdiction were alleged to be
contaminated with defendant's lead paint, the contamination did not deprive all members of the
community of a right such that it could be considered a public nuisance under Restatement Second of
Torts § 821B. The court noted that Pennsylvania courts had not adopted the definition of public nuisance
set forth in Restatement of Torts Third: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm. Atlantic Richfield
Company v. County of Montgomery, 294 A.3d 1274, 1283.
