U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph T. Randa has granted summary judgment to a defendant in a lead paint case, holding that imposition of liability would violate substantive due process.
Randa concluded June 15 that imposition of liability under the risk contribution rule established by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in Thomas v. Mallett, 701 N.W.2d 523 (2005), would be arbitrary and irrational.
