How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- distinguishing three other decisions that “involve[d] the [uncontroversial] duty not to unreasonably harm other people” and that therefore did not find LMRA preemption
- “The voluntary undertaking doctrine is narrow. As the Supreme Court of Illinois explained, courts would risk deterring good deeds if they construed assumed duties too broadly; if people had to help a lot whenever they helped a little, they might hesitate to help at all.”
