Our use of the term "probability" was not intended to effect a change in the law as set forth in Toole, Schroeder, and the other cases which have echoed the Toole formulation. (Id.) There was ample evidence to support a finding of malice and Ford's responsibility for malice. (Evid.Code, 210.) 547; Stencel Aero Engineering Corp. v. Superior Court, supra, 56 Cal.App.3d 978, 983, 128 Cal.Rptr. [119 Cal.App.3d 829] Since the 1961 amendments to the survival and wrongful death statutes, our courts have reaffirmed the long-standing view that the wrongful death statute does not permit recovery of exemplary damages. Significantly Ford does not now complain of the court's rulings in connection with its motion for a mistrial. (Id., at p. 34, 164 Cal.Rptr. Exchange, supra, 21 Cal.3d 910, 927-928, 148 Cal.Rptr. We cannot say that the trial judge's implied[119 Cal.App.3d 795] assessment of the effect of the charged misconduct on the verdict was manifestly wrong. 917; Lemer v. Boise Cascade, Inc., 107 Cal.App.3d 1, 7, 165 Cal.Rptr. OBITUARY Richard F Grimshaw 19 July, 1934 - 25 September, 2016. In ruling on the motion for mistrial, the judge recalled that the order was made before counsel's opening statements and was to the effect that no reference be made in the opening statements to other Pinto fires without first approaching the bench. Discovery (2d ed.) 770.) And so, to celebrate the Pinto is to celebrate human suffering. 2023 Hutcheson's Memorial Chapel & Crematory. When the instructions are read as a whole, the jury could not possibly have interpreted the words "conscious disregard of its possible results" to extend to the innocent conduct depicted by Ford. Receive obituaries from the city or cities of your choice. 143, 116 P. 530, requires animus malus or evil motive an intention to injure the person harmed and that the term is therefore conceptually incompatible with an unintentional tort such as the manufacture and marketing of a defectively designed product. 721, 394 P.2d 561; Brokopp v. Ford Motor Co., supra, 71 Cal.App.3d 841, 860, 139 Cal.Rptr. She had worked full time and had been earning at least $20,000 a year as of the date of trial. No useful purpose would be served by detailing them. (Cal. They urge that there is no reasonable basis for treating heirs in a wrongful death action differently from a personal representative asserting a right of action under the survival statute and, in a broader context, for denying heirs a right given to all other victims of a wrongdoer's malicious conduct. Ford also conducted the tests to see if the Pinto as designed would meet a proposed federal regulation requiring all automobiles manufactured in 1972 to be able to withstand a 20-mile-per-hour fixed barrier impact without significant fuel spillage and all automobiles manufactured after January 1, 1973, to withstand a 30-mile-per-hour fixed barrier impact without significant fuel spillage. 693, 598 P.2d 854.) Co. v. Egan, 445 U.S. 912, 100 S.Ct. Ford requested two instructions purporting to set out the Barker tests for design defect, 8 but the court gave only the following instruction: "A product is defective in design if the product has failed to perform as safely as an ordinary consumer would expect when used in an intended or reasonably foreseeable manner." Grief Support. Richard Grimshaw lives on High St in Minford, Ohio. More importantly, having failed to object below, it was incumbent upon Ford to demonstrate that the claimed improprieties were such that a prompt objection and admonition to the jury would not have corrected the error. The Galaxie had been traveling from 50 to 55 miles per hour but before the impact had been braked to a speed of from 28 to 37 miles per hour. 21 Former Civil Code section 956 provided: "A thing in action arising out of a wrong which results in physical injury to the person or out of a statute imposing liability for such injury shall not abate by reason of the death of the wrongdoer or any other person liable for damages for such injury, nor by reason of the death of the person injured or of any other person who owns any such thing in action. "This section is applicable where a loss or damage occurs simultaneously with or after the death of a person who would have been liable therefor if his death had not preceded or occurred simultaneously with the loss or damage. The Legislature enacted Probate Code section 573 and amended Code of Civil Procedure section 377 as recommended by the Commission. Loving Grandfather to Heather (Sam) Baker, Krystina and Zachary Woelkers, Richard IV and Alexis Grimshaw, Amanda, Briana and Cameron Lack. Ford contends that one of its defenses to the claims based on the design of the fuel tank and its location and protection was that the impact speed was so great that the fuel tank rupture and fire would have occurred without regard to the location and protection of the fuel tank. Co., 57 Cal.App.3d 538, 557; Black v. Shearson, Hammill & Co., 266 Cal.App.2d 362, 369, 72 Cal.Rptr. Under the test for ascertaining relevancy of evidence to which we have previously alluded, we find no abuse of discretion in the court's ruling. Finally, Mr. Copp testified to conversations in late 1968 or early 1969 with the chief assistant research engineer in charge of cost-weight evaluation of the Pinto, and to a later conversation with the chief chassis engineer who was then in charge of crash testing the early prototype. Were the question one of first impression, it might be argued that the 1874 amendment deleting the words "pecuniary and exemplary" was intended to broaden rather than restrict recoverable damages in a wrongful death action. Co., 10 Cal.App.3d 376, 404-405, 89 Cal.Rptr. [119 Cal.App.3d 827] The statute remained virtually unchanged until 1949 when the Legislature, in the wake of Hunt v. Authier, 28 Cal.2d 288, 169 P.2d 913, enacted Civil Code section 956 providing for survival of personal injury causes of action. Nothing in this article shall be construed as making such a thing in action assignable.". "In an action brought under this section against an executor or administrator all damages may be awarded which might have been recovered against the decedent had he lived except damages awardable under Section 3294 of the Civil Code or other damages imposed primarily for the sake of example and by way of punishing the defendant. Richard Grimshaw, 82, passed away on Sunday September 25, 2016 at Halifax Health Hospice in Port Orange. 603 at page 610, 204 P. 33 (quoting the following passage from 1 Hayne on New Trial & Appeal, 103): " 'In the hurry of the trial many things may be, and are, overlooked which would readily have been rectified had attention been called to them. Please provide as much information as possible. In light of the length of the trial, the thousands of questions which were asked and the complexity of the factual issues in this case, it was inevitable that some of the questions might assume facts not then in evidence. Although I agree with the ultimate disposition of each issue, I am unable to subscribe en toto to those portions of the opinion relating to Copp's testimony concerning the reasons for his termination by Ford, the alleged violations of the order in limine, and the design defect instructions. Echovita Inc is a registered trademark. Motors, 66 Cal.App.3d 481, 502, 136 Cal.Rptr. The court denied the motion for a mistrial but admonished plaintiffs' counsel that it would not hesitate to grant a mistrial if counsel did not "proceed with utmost care." Exchange, supra, 21 Cal.3d 910, 933, 148 Cal.Rptr. (Horn v. Atchison, T. & S. F. Ry. On remand, plaintiff moved to file an amended complaint naming the personal representative of the estate as the party plaintiff. (Moore v. Belt, 34 Cal.2d 525, 532, 212 P.2d 509; Salmon v. Rathjens, 152 Cal. LDS FamilySearch records indicate that Clinton E. married Carrie Alice Rader on December 19, 1906. In 1968, Ford began designing a new subcompact automobile which ultimately. The right to conduct discovery "within 30 days before trial" is within the sound discretion of the trial court and in exercising its discretion the court is required to take into consideration the necessity and reasons for such discovery, the diligence or lack of diligence of the party seeking such discovery and his reasons for not having completed[119 Cal.App.3d 785] his discovery prior to 30 days before trial, whether permitting such discovery will prevent the case from going to trial on the day set or otherwise interfere with the trial calendar or result in prejudice to any party, and any other matter relevant to the request. Assuming that enhancing the witness' credibility was not a valid independent basis for the court's ruling, the evidence was nevertheless admissible (1) because it went to the witness' qualification as an expert and (2) because it was relevant to the issue of malice on Grimshaw's claim for punitive damages. Mr. Harley Copp, a former Ford engineering executive, was plaintiffs' principal witness on the subject of defects in the design, placement, and protection of the Pinto's gas tank and on Ford management's[119 Cal.App.3d 780] decision to place the car on the market with knowledge of the defects. (Id., at p. 432, 143 Cal.Rptr. It exhibited a conscious and callous disregard of public safety in order to maximize corporate profits. (Steed v. Imperial Airlines, 12 Cal.3d 115, 123-124, 115 Cal.Rptr. The Grays have cross-appealed from the judgment to the extent that they were precluded from seeking punitive damages. 1 On Ford's motion for a new trial, Grimshaw was required to remit all but $3 1/2 million of the punitive award as a condition of denial of the motion. In that case, the personal representative of an heir of decedent brought an action to enforce a claim which could only be enforced by the personal representative of decedent's estate. This prohibition like the ex post facto concept is applicable only to criminal proceedings. Applying the above precepts to the instant case, Ford has failed to demonstrate prejudice from the claimed defect in the instructions on malice. (Dawes v. Superior Court, 111 Cal.App.3d 82, 88, 168 Cal.Rptr. (Bertero v. National General Corp., supra, 13 Cal.3d 43, 65, fn. 236, disapproved on other grounds, Jefferson v. J. E. French Co., 54 Cal.2d 717, 719, 720, 7 Cal.Rptr. Hews, Munoz & Howard, Inc., Arthur N. Hews, Santa Ana, Horvitz, Greines & Poster, Ellis J. Horvitz, Michelle Van Cleave, Encino, and Gerald H. B. Kane, Jr., Redondo Beach, for plaintiff and appellant Richard Grimshaw. The authors advocate abandonment of the rule that a reasonable relationship must exist between punitive damages and actual damages. 218) court's suggestion that conscious disregard of the safety of others is an appropriate description of the animus malus required by Civil Code section 3294, adding: "In order to justify an award of punitive damages on this basis, the plaintiff must establish that the defendant was aware of the probable dangerous consequences of his conduct, and that he wilfully and deliberately failed to avoid those consequences." The feasibility study was conducted under the supervision of Mr. Robert Alexander, Vice President of Car Engineering. 388, 506 P.2d 212.) Grimshaw, who now lives in Anaheim, Calif., has undergone more than 50 operations to repair burn damage. One was a statistical study from an accident data bank maintained by the state patrol of the State of Washington. District Court of Appeal, Fourth District, California. (Id., at p. 430, 143 Cal.Rptr. 681, 534 P.2d 377, 74 A.L.R.3d 1282.)" (Sabella v. Southern Pac. True, such damages are in a sense a windfall to the plaintiff's heirs or devisees, but since these damages are not compensatory in nature, they would have constituted a windfall to the decedent as well. [119 Cal.App.3d 778] The fact that two of the crash tests were run at the request of the Ford Chassis and Vehicle Engineering Department for the specific purpose of demonstrating the advisability of moving the fuel tank over the axle as a possible "fix" further corroborated Mr. Copp's testimony that management knew the results of the crash tests. Since we find no error in the court's initial ruling and since Ford has not advanced any independent reason why the rehabilitating evidence should have been excluded, Ford's complaint concerning the prejudicial nature of that evidence must be rejected. Followed to its logical conclusion, it would mean that punitive damages could never be assessed against a manufacturer of a mass produced article. 306; Toole v. Richardson-Merrell Inc., 251 Cal.App.2d 689, 713-714, 60 Cal.Rptr. 1, 609 P.2d 468. [119 Cal.App.3d 808] Ford argues that "malice" as used in section 3294 and as interpreted by our Supreme Court in Davis v. Hearst, 160 Cal. 290, 299, 92 P. 733; 2 Wigmore, Evidence (Chadbourne Rev. pertaining to discovery of expert witnesses. 470.) In the case at bench the Grays never attempted to allege a cause of action under Probate Code section 573, nor did the personal representative attempt to join as a party plaintiff for the purpose of pleading such a cause of action. 12, 431 P.2d 636.) We find that contention equally lacking in merit. 888.) 129, 417 P.2d 673.). 2401-2402.). Obituary notices, as published in the Winnipeg Free Press newspaper, dating back to September, 1999. Rose, Klein & Marias, Byron M.

Green, supra, 27 Cal.3d 1, 33, 164 Cal.Rptr. Ford assails the judgment as a whole, assigning a multitude of errors and irregularities, including misconduct of counsel, but the primary thrust of its appeal is directed against the punitive damage award. As to the second alleged misconduct relating to the order in limine, the question arguably may have been within the scope of proper cross-examination of the adverse expert witness but there is no doubt that failure to approach the bench before asking the question violated the ground rule which had been clarified after the first incident. Where such claim survives and is recoverable in an action by the personal representative of the decedent (Dunwoody v. Trapnell, supra, 47 Cal.App.3d 367, 369, 120 Cal.Rptr. He has undergone numerous and extensive surgeries and skin grafts and must undergo additional surgeries over the next 10 years. den. It made that assessment in ruling on the motion for a mistrial and later in passing on Ford's motion for a new trial in which one of the grounds was the asserted misconduct of counsel in violating the order in limine. There was thus ample evidentiary support for the implied finding that there had been no willful suppression of Mr. Copp's identity as a potential expert witness. (Salmon v. Rathjens, supra, 152 Cal. The Pinto was then six months old and had been driven approximately 3,000 miles. As stated in Toole v. Richardson-Merrell Inc. (1967) 251 Cal.App.2d 689, 713, 60 Cal.Rptr. This means you can view content but cannot create content. The gas tank of the car exploded, and the car's driver died two days later. 888.) Thus, the risk-benefit test was formulated primarily to aid injured persons. We find no merit in the contentions. The law casts upon the party the duty of looking after his legal rights and of calling the judge's attention to any infringement of them. Ford relies on cases involving the personal liberty of an individual (Addington v. Texas, 441 U.S. 418, 99 S.Ct. 389, 582 P.2d 980; Miller v. National American Life Ins. 407.) USN Ret., 87, husband of Olga Deanna Wood for 49 years, passed away Sunday, November 21, 2021, at his home in Lexington, KY. Neither decision, however, seems to have taken into account the fact that courts not only have the power but that it is their duty to set aside or modify "excessive" damage awards. A party can be compelled to identify the experts whom he contemplates calling as witnesses and such experts may, upon good cause shown, be deposed by the other party. Fire totally gutted the vehicle. 1961 Earl (Bill) Newton.

Resolution of this issue does not turn on whether heirs of the other class are entitled to seek such damages in a wrongful death action. 7 Finally. Grimshaw was critically burned over 90 percent of his body 10 years ago when the Pinto in which he was a passenger was involved in a collision near Bakersfield. 355, 582 P.2d 946; Kostecky v. Henry, supra, 113 Cal.App.3d 362, 374-375, 170 Cal.Rptr. By the time the Pinto came to rest after the collision, both occupants had sustained serious burns. Defendants responded with a motion to dismiss the action on the ground the jurisdictional. Plaintiffs' counsel met Mr. Copp for the first time on January 18, 1977, and learned of his potential availability as a witness. Its specification of reasons adequately enables a reviewing court to determine whether there is a substantial basis in law and fact for the order granting the conditional new trial. 47. Plaintiff's counsel (Mr. Hews) stated that he intended to call a former Ford employee but declined to reveal his identity except to the court outside the presence of defense counsel. Relevant evidence means evidence "having any tendency in reason to prove or disprove any disputed fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action." The instant case was submitted solely on the consumer expectation standard because the trial had been virtually completed before the Barker decision was rendered in which our high court for the first time articulated the risk-benefit standard of design defect. IN THE CARE OF. [119 Cal.App.3d 804] For the reasons stated above, the other instructions Ford requested which would have permitted the jury to consider custom or usage in the trade in determining whether a design defect existed were also properly refused. Funeral services will be Friday, April 19,2019 at 2:00 PM from Baptist Tabernacle with Reverend Buddy Gentry and Reverend Richard Brannon officiating. Ford's institutional mentality was shown to be one of callous indifference to public safety. (People v. Warner, 270 Cal.App.2d 900, 907, 76 Cal.Rptr. (Chaput) Grimshaw of Allentown and the late Henry J. Grimshaw, Sr. Send Flowers. July 21, 2022 Therefore, the fact that the evidence may have enhanced the witness' credibility did not render it inadmissible.

He testified that management's decision was based on the cost savings which would inure from omitting or delaying the "fixes. (Chaput). (LeMons v. Regents of Univ. The precise contention now advanced has been previously rejected. Ford argues that to instruct the jury so that they might find "malice" if any such "possibility" existed was erroneous; it maintains that an instruction on "malice" in products liability must contain the phrase "conscious disregard of (the probability/a high probability) of injury to others," in order to preclude prejudicial error. 32; Seimon v.

It concedes that defense would have been of no avail as to compensatory damages had the jury found that the Pinto stalled on the freeway because of a carburetor defect but that it could have been a defense to punitive damages because that claim rested entirely on Ford's conduct with respect to the fuel tank's design, position and protection. By its failure to object to the in camera proceeding, or to the court's consideration of matters revealed in camera, or to request an opportunity to respond thereto, Ford waived its right to assert that the proceedings were improper. Instead, we should learn lessons from these products. 13 The phrase "wilful, intentional and done in reckless disregard of its possible results" used in former BAJI 14.71 seems to have made its first appearance in Toole v. Richardson-Merrell Inc., supra, 251 Cal.App.2d 689, 713, 60 Cal.Rptr. He was loved and cherished by many people including : his parents, Beatrice O. Grimshaw (Chaput) of Allentown and Henry J.

In any event, Ford maintains that the punitive damage award must be reversed because of erroneous instructions and excessiveness of the award. Second, a product may alternatively be found defective in design if the plaintiff demonstrates that the product's design proximately caused his injury and the defendant fails to establish, in light of the relevant factors, that, on balance, the benefits of the challenged design outweigh the risk of danger inherent in such design." (Citation.)" A ruling correct in law will not be disturbed on appeal simply because given for a wrong reason; if right on any applicable theory of law, it must be sustained. Ford relies on the general proposition that evidence to support the credibility of a witness is inadmissible until there has been an attempt to impeach; that until a witness' credibility has been attacked, there is nothing to rehabilitate. F-1 (1961).) Ford argues that the documentation referred to by Mr. Copp the "Grush-Saunby Report" was excluded from evidence so that the statement was improper. Under the risk-benefit test, once the plaintiff makes a prima facie showing. The punitive award was. An award which affects the company's pricing of its product and thereby affects its competitive advantage would serve as a deterrent. A commentator has noted that under the Lange rationale, it could have been said that the Legislature must have intended to deny "pecuniary," as well as exemplary, damages in wrongful death cases. (Evid.Code, 352, 355; see Conservatorship of Buchanan, 78 Cal.App.3d 281, 289, 144 Cal.Rptr. While the evidence may also have tended to enhance the witness' credibility, the purpose of permitting a party producing an expert to question him as to his educational background, training, and experience in his area of expertise is not only to establish "the competency of the witness to the satisfaction of the court, but also for the purpose of making plain the strength of the witness's (sic) grounds of knowledge and the reason for trusting his belief." The court nevertheless sustained Ford's objections to the questions, presumably on the basis that the prejudicial effect of the evidence outweighed its probative value, but denied the mistrial motions. Mutual of Omaha Ins. 412, 418-419, 111 P. 95; Hale v. San Bernardino etc. On the issue of punitive damages, Ford contends that its motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict should have been granted because the punitive award was statutorily unauthorized and constitutionally invalid and on the further ground that the evidence was insufficient to support a finding of malice or corporate responsibility for malice. 1323.) It is the ultimate cautionary tale of corporate greed. Ford cites five such instances: Testimony concerning examples of vehicles meeting a 50-mile-per-hour moving barrier test without fuel tank rupture and fire; testimony that field reports proved over-the-axle fuel tank position to be superior in design; testimony about a proposal United States Steel Co. made to Ford concerning a bladder within a tank; testimony that he based his opinion that a bladder within a tank was feasible in 1969 and 1970 on the fact that Ford had started. 719; Scotsman Mfg.

Ford complains that since Mr. Copp was permitted to testify to the circumstances surrounding his termination, Ford was compelled to cross-examine him to show that the reason for his dismissal was unexplained absences from work and unsatisfactory work performance; that if the court had not permitted Mr. Copp to give his version of the reason for termination, Ford would have had little or no reason to examine him about his retirement and plaintiffs would not have been able to adduce rehabilitation testimony highly prejudicial to Ford.
