Definitions from Case Law

From 275 U.S. 303 - Robins Dry Dock & Repair Co. v. Flint · 1927Most cited · 1,045 citing opinions

a tort to the person or property of one man does not make the tort-feasor liable to another merely because the injured person was under a contract with that other unknown to the doer of the wrong. The law does not spread its protection so far.
