Seeman v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.green
iowa · 1982 · cited in 2 Iowa opinions naming this issue, 2014–2014
2 sentences

2014With respect to whether the City’s cross-petition was based upon statutory liability, and thus was not within the scope of the ITCA because it was not based upon a negligence theory, the district court, pointing to Seeman v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., 322 N.W.2d 35, 37 (Iowa 1982), concluded an ordinance can establish a duty, the breach of which supports a negligence claim.

1979“A common interest in the land or property which is used to guarantee or secure the joint debt is not an element that should affect the right of contribution.” In accord is the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals in White v.
