California Supreme Court
Michael Verdugo, Plaintiffs and Appellants v. Target Corporation, Defendant and Responde — Werdegar, J…
June 23, 201459 Cal. 4th 312
Summary
Justice Werdegar concurred in the conclusion that a large retailer's common-law duty of reasonable care does not require it to install and maintain an automated external defibrillator for patrons. She would reach that result by applying the ordinary duty factors to the specific proposed obligation, rather than by analogizing the claim to duties concerning third-party criminal activity or adopting a broad rule governing all nonminimal medical precautions.
