Selected Explanations
Question 1: The answer is E because I, II, and III are inaccurate. I is inaccurate because, among other reasons, there was no intent to effect a touching. II is inaccurate because Shalini was not engaged in an ultrahazardous activity. III is inaccurate because the injury was not caused by a defective product commercially distributed by Shalini.
Question 2: The answer is E because I, II, and III are inaccurate. I is inaccurate because, among other reasons, there was no intent to effect a touching. II and III are inaccurate because workers compensation bars Olaf from recovering from his employer in tort for the accident arising in the course of his employment. III is also inaccurate because the injury was not caused by a defective product commercially distributed by Blastodyne.
Question 3: The answer is B because I and III are inaccurate and II is accurate. I is inaccurate because, among other reasons, there was no intent to effect a touching. II is accurate because mass manufacturing of chemical components of explosives in an area with a density of residences and a sparsity of industrial activity is an ultrahazardous or abnormally dangerous activity. III is inaccurate because the injury was not caused by a defective product commercially distributed by Blastodyne.
Question 12: The answer is A in crucial part because of constitutional due process issues. Plaintiff LourdellŐs punitive damages award will likely be limited to be substantially less than $160,000 on appeal.
