Supreme Court of Colorado

Mountain Planned Parenthood, Inc. v. Wagner

June 8, 2020467 P.3d 287

Summary

The court held that the evidence created a genuine dispute over whether the shooter’s conduct was the predominant cause of the plaintiffs’ injuries, so summary judgment for the facility was improper. It also held that the facility’s national parent organization owed no legal duty to the plaintiffs because the evidence did not establish a qualifying special relationship, sufficient control over the facility, or an assumed duty to provide security. The court affirmed the appellate judgment and remanded for further proceedings.
