How later courts described this case
- rejecting an injured student’s outrage claim against school district, its officials, and the employee who removed a table saw’s blade safety guard
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Jonh E. Jennings, Judge, concurring. The question is whether the plaintiffs complaint adequately pled the tort of outrage. In my view, the case is governed by the decisions in Miller v. Ensco, Inc., 286 Ark. 458 , 692 S.W.2d 615 (1985), and Griffin v. George’s, Inc., 267 Ark. 91 , 589 S.W.2d 24 (1979), which hold that such conduct does not constitute an intentional tort.
