The parents brought a wrongful death action against the school under the theory of attractive nuisance. The courts ruled in favor of the school because the attractive nuisance doctrine states "the children because of their youth do not discover the condition or realize the risk involved intermeddling with it or in coming within the area made dangerous by it".

    Connecticut V. Cardwell Case Study

    4)The case we read in class that I enjoyed the most was State of Connecticut v. Cardwell. I primarily liked it because it best exemplifies the difference and complexity regarding the sale of goods and the helps reflect the distinction between a “shipment” and “destination” contracts. I disagree with the trial courts judgment that Cardwell sold tickets within Connecticut and thereby violated Connecticut statute. However, I agree with the judgment of the court after the appeal. The transfer of goods occurred in Massachuestes, therefore the sale of the tickets, as defined by the code, occurred in Massachusts.…

The forth element in the case stated, “SSCC treated similarly situated employees outside of Hampton's protected class more favorably” (Hampton). According to the court, Hampton failed to establish the prima facie case of bring substantial evidence of employees of another race who were tried fairly. The plaintiff brought evidence of three colleagues, also coaches, who were White (Adam Rhoden, Steve Machen, and Gerry Ledbetter) who engaged in misconduct and were not demoted or transferred to another division. However, the first two coaches that Hampton supplied, as evidence to the court did not suffice because both coaches, Rhoden and Machen, incident involved another athletic director than whom the plaintiff was suing.
