Mirjavadi v. Vakilzadeh
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed for a divorce from Orang Fabriz, with whom she had a daughter. Defendant was hired to supervise visits between Fabriz and the child. During a visit supervised by Defendant at a shopping mall, Fabriz abducted the child and took her with him to Istanbul, Turkey. Plaintiff subsequently filed this negligence action against Defendant. The trial court found in favor of Defendant. The appellate court reversed and remanded for a new trial, concluding that the trial court engaged in a flawed analysis of causation and foreseeability and that the court made two clearly erroneous factual findings. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the appellate court correctly found the trial court's foreseeability analysis was fundamentally flawed.
