Court: |
WI Supreme Court |
|
Facts: |
Thomas gets lead poisoning |
|
Posture: |
Wants to sue pigment manufacturers, along with others. Can't
identify the specific pigment manufacturer, though. Appeal
presumably from summary judgment in favor of defendants. |
|
Issue: |
Can this go to trial? |
|
Holding: |
Yes. |
|
Rule: |
Article 1, Section 9 of Wis. Const.: law provides remedy for
all injuries. |
|
Reasoning: |
Lots of facts that make lead paint manufacturers look bad:
hiding the risks of their products, etc. |
|
Dicta: |
Dissent: bad facts make bad law. Also, this will drive business
away. |
