I wonder if the duty of the TWU to provide their services would be enough of a relationship - I'd assume that the city can get out of this, and the MTA blame the TWU, but it will be interesting if the restaurant could prove a relationship somewhere...Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-1135313633161946322005-12-22T23:53:00.000-05:002005-12-22T23:53:00.000-05:00I wonder if the lawsuit will be dismissed.

In order to sue, the individual needs to have a relationship with the person they are suing, a relationship which allows for a duty.<BR/><BR/>Just because they violated a law doesn't mean they can actually be sued. There needs to be a private right of action. I'm not sure if the Taylor law allows for it. The purpose of the private suit is to force compliance with the law. The courts seem to be doing well in that regard.<BR/><BR/>Same would apply to the MTA or City, with slight variations. The city moreso, since they have sovereignty of a sort, and thus are sorta immune from lawsuits unless they decide otherwise.Romachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899277362961329651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-1135313362258263032005-12-22T23:49:00.000-05:002005-12-22T23:49:00.000-05:00Aha!
