The Role of the Maine Law Court in Abrogating the Common Law Doctrines of Governmental and Charitable Immunity from Tort Liability
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: During the last decade the Maine Law Court refused to overrule two common law doctrines which effectively insulated certain tortfeasors from liability for their negligent conduct. The purpose of this comment is to determine if the public policy issues embodied in the immunity rules and the reliance interests attributed to those rules by the Law Court justified the radical departure from the court's traditional role of deciding cases properly before it.
