Roberts v. Shop & Go, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• declining to find liability for vendor that sold customer gasoline in a pail that customer used to douse customers and set them on fire because acts were wholly unforeseeable and constituted an efficient intervening cause as a matter of law
• affirming dismissal of a complaint where the sudden criminal actions of a third-party, even taking place in a high-crime area and where the gas station clerk knew something was amiss, were unforeseeable and “well outside the concept of ‘natural’ and ‘probable’ consequences[.]”
