## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- stating, “whether the complained of negligence is the proximate cause of the plaintiff's injury is dependent upon the harm . . . being the result of both the natural and probable consequences of the primary negligence”
- finding a third party could not assert negligence per se based on violation of 63 0.$.1991 § 1-519

## Opinion text

SIMMS, Justice,
dissenting.
¶ 1 I must respectfully dissent as I believe the trial court was correct in deciding there was no actionable negligence in this matter because Loosen owed no legal duty of care to Lockhart. I would affirm that court’s dismissal of Lockhart’s claim for failure to state a cause of action.
¶ 2 I am authorized to state that Justice Opala joins in the views expressed herein.
