Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Paul D. Miller, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and May, JJ. Opinion by May, J. (4 pages)
Plaintiffs appeal the summary judgment order dismissing their claims after the district court determined the scope of liability associated with Douglas Walker’s conduct did not include the harm suffered by the plaintiffs. OPINION HOLDS: Because a jury could find the scope of liability extends to the harm alleged here, we conclude the district court erred in granting summary judgment.
