    Petitioner V Negligence Case

    LEXIS 287, ***11; CCH Prod. Liab. Rep. P15,893 the [***12] Court of Appeals. n5 n5 Four months after filing its notice of appeal, Mortenson moved to vacate the trial court judgment and amend its pleadings to include tort claims. The trial court denied these motions and the Court of Appeals affirmed. M.A. Mortenson Co., 93 Wn. App. at 837--39. While Mortenson argues in its supplemental briefing that the Court of Appeals erred in affirming the trial court's denial of these motions, it fails to include this issue in its petition for review. As such, we decline to reach it. RAP 13.7(b). The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court and held (1) the purchase order was not an integrated contract; (2) the license terms were part of the contract; and (3) the limitation of remedies clause was not unconscionable and, therefore, enforceable. M.A. Mortenson Co. v. Timberline Software Corp., 93 Wn. App. 819, 826--37, 970 P.2d 803 (1999). Mortenson petitioned this court for review, which we granted.

    I write this letter to completely reassure you that we are taking the concerns you brought up with the utmost seriousness that they deserve. As a matter of fact, we have investigated the matter the last couple of days to ascertain the facts and events of what happened in Ms. Paulson’s Computer Technology Class on Monday during the third period. There were 27 students present that day alongside Ms. Paulson, and we have conducted interviews with some of them individually in order to get to the bottom of this issue. While it is certain that it was one of the students who momentarily put the pictures in question on the projector, it is also without a doubt our goal to never have to expose our students to any such material; and the adults in our staff certainly are expected to uphold their responsibility of keeping a safe environment for every child under our care, be it from harm of a physical or mental nature.…

    Bex And Walton: Preponderance Of Evidence

    Based on the facts above, Bex and Walton believe that the totality of the evidence would show that there was a preponderance of evidence tending to show that defendant was indeed negligent, for at least two reasons: 1) the burden of evidence ended with defendant, who failed to satisfy it; and 2) the greater weight of testimonies and object evidence supports the explanation provided by the plaintiff. Judging by preponderance of evidence, the defendant would be found liable. If it were judged by clear and convincing evidence, however, the plaintiff would not have won, despite these two reasons. This is because the only thin advantage that the plaintiff had over the defendant was a challenge to the latter’s last evidence given, after which the…

The equity arguments often express a belief that cases should be inside on the basic afford and negligence. In particular, firm consider it in equitable to be assessed damage when there was nothing that could be done to prevent the injury.
