11 Iowa opinions name it 2 courts 1982–2026 6 in the last five years
The cases below were cited by Iowa courts in a sentence that names this issue. Sides come from how each citing opinion treated the case (Syfertize flag on that citation), so a case can appear on both: that is where the law is contested. A red or yellow chip is the case's own overall treatment.
| Case | Followed | Cited |
|---|---|---|
Regan v. Denbar, Inc.green2 sentences2021In considering the Hoyt case, the district court then went on to observe that “[s]mall changes in facts may make dramatic changes in how much risk is foreseeable.” Similarly, in discussing the case of Regan v. Denbar, Inc., 514 N.W.2d 751, 752 (Iowa Ct. App. 1994), the district court found the case distinguishable because that bar fight case “pass[ed] the most basic foreseeability analysis.” According to the district court, in the fight setting, the bartender has “a duty of reasonable care,” and “in light of foreseeability,” it was reasonable to call the police. 2021In considering the Hoyt case, the district court then went on to observe that “[s]mall changes in facts may make dramatic changes in how much risk is foreseeable.” Similarly, in discussing the case of Regan v.

State v. Connergreen1 sentence1982We believe the foreseeability requirement, coupled with the requirement of recklessness, see State v. Conner, 292 N.W.2d 682, 686 (Iowa 1980), will prevent the possibility of harsh or unjust results in involuntary manslaughter cases. | 1 | 1 |
