Restatement of the Law, Third,
Torts: Miscellaneous Provisions
This project is part of ALI’s ongoing revision of the Restatement Second of Torts. Portions of the Restatement Second have been superseded by the Restatement Third of Torts: Products Liability, Apportionment of Liability, Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm, and Liability for Economic Harm.
This Restatement addresses topics not covered in another part of the Restatement Third of Torts that either require updating since publication of the Restatement Second or were not previously addressed but should be covered in a modern torts Restatement. These topics will include medical liability, vicarious liability, wrongful death and survival actions, among others.
- In 2023 The membership voted to approve Tentative Draft No. 3, which contains material on Medical Monitoring, Statutes of Limitations and Repose, Negligent Misrepresentation Causing Physical Harm, Wrongful-Death and Survival Actions, Interference with Family Relationships, Aiding and Abetting Negligence Torts, Agreements to Engage in Conduct that is Negligent or Reckless, the Firefighter’s Rule, Bad-Faith Performance of First-Party Insurance Contract, Spoliation of Evidence, Equitable Estoppel as a Defense to Tort Liability, Tort Liability Based on Estoppel, Prenatal Injury, Wrongful Pregnancy, Wrongful Birth, and Wrongful Life, Liability for the Provision of Alcohol, and Negligence Liability of Product Suppliers.
