Elliott v. Brown

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that when coworker commits an intentional tort, exclusive liability does not foreclose an action against the coworker
• holding that an employee could sue an employer for an assault and battery inflicted by a co-worker and occurring on the premises of the place of employment
• concluding that supervisory employee was a third person under the statute that made workers' compensation exclusive remedy and therefore employer immunized from action
• holding that exclusive remedy provision did not shield co-worker who allegedly committed intentional tort
• holding where employer hit and shoved employees, actions were intentional enough to take case outside worker's compensation system
• observing that because corporate employer’s liability in that case was vicarious, “we are not insulating [the corporation] against common-law liability for its own wilful acts”
