Mississippi Supreme Court

Summers v. St. Andrew's Episcopal School, Inc.

May 11, 2000759 So. 2d 1203

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of recusal, the dismissal of the parents' emotional-distress claims, and summary judgment barring punitive damages. It held that the minor's negligent-supervision claim presented genuine factual disputes concerning foreseeability, adequacy of supervision, and proximate causation, requiring trial. The court therefore reversed and remanded only that compensatory-damages claim.
