N.c. v. P.r. Caldwell

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s summary judgment in favor of physical‑education teacher P.R. Caldwell, holding that genuine issues of material fact exist as to whether Caldwell’s actions—appointing a student aide, failing to report prior harassment complaints, and supervising the victim—were beyond his authority and thus preclude state‑agent immunity. Accordingly, the case was remanded for further proceedings.
