2023As this Court has previously stated, “the General Assembly intended the task of considering and making findings regarding the two factors of KRS 439.3106(1) to serve as the analytical precursor to a trial court’s ultimate decision: whether revocation or a lesser sanction is appropriate.” McClure, 457 S.W.3d at 732 .

Haney v. City of Lexington green

2 sentences

2025Prior to Haney, our courts adhered to the rule of municipal immunity from liability sounding in tort, and our jurisprudence’s sole means to “lessen the severity of the rule of municipal immunity” to individuals harmed by the negligence of a municipal corporation was by drawing a distinction between “functions of the municipal corporation that purportedly were governmental or public and those thought to be proprietary or private.” Id. at 739-40 .

2025Municipal liability was denied in cases involving a governmental function but was imposed in situations involving a proprietary action. 11 Id. at 740 .
