"Justices Drop Case on Third Restatement"

"Justices Drop Case on Third Restatement": The Legal Intelligencer has a news update (subscription required) that begins, "The state Supreme Court has declined to decide a case that seemed poised to be a vehicle for the justices to examine -- and possibly reshape -- Pennsylvania's products liability law. The move, which came in a one-line order today, puts an end to the speculation that the court would use Bugosh v. I.U. North America to introduce concepts of negligence into the strict liability doctrine currently employed by Pennsylvania's court system."

You can access yesterday's order of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania dismissing the appeal as improvidently granted at this link. Two judges dissented from the dismissal, and you can access their quite lengthy dissent from the dismissal at this link.
