Cit. generally in 1. rev. art. quot. in sup. After victim died from an overdose of heroin, kratom, and other drugs, defendant who helped victim purchase heroin shortly prior to victim's death was indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter, corrupting another with drugs, and trafficking in heroin. The trial court denied defendant's motion for an acquittal and found defendant guilty on all three counts. This court reversed the judgment, vacated the convictions, and remanded, holding that there was insufficient evidence that the victim's use of heroin was the but-for cause of his death. The court declined to apply the substantial-factor test in determining causation for mixed-drug overdose deaths and other cases, pointing out that courts and commentators had moved away from the test based on its lack of certainty and that the Restatement Third of Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm had also rid itself of the test. State v. Seymour, 257 N.E.3d 384, 397. CHAPTER 1. INTENT, RECKLESSNESS, AND NEGLIGENCE: DEFINITIONS § 1. Intent Hawaii, 2025. Cit. and quot. in sup. Older brother sued younger brother in a commercial dispute over the parties' automotive business and sought punitive damages, alleging that defendant used the parties' business for his personal benefit and stole the business's trade name and most valuable shop. After a jury trial, the trial court granted defendant's motion for judgment as a matter of law on the issue of punitive damages. The court of appeals reversed and remanded, finding that the jury should have considered punitive damages based on the record of defendant's conduct. This court affirmed in part, adopting the analysis set forth in Restatement Third of Torts: Remedies to update Hawai'i punitive- damages law. The court observed that the Restatement was consistent with the definitions of intent and recklessness as set forth in Restatement Third of Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm §§ 1 COPYRIGHT C2026 By THE AMERICAN LAW INSTITUTE All rights reserved Printed in the United States of America For earlier citations, see the Appendices, Supplements, or Pocket Parts, if any, that correspond to the subject matter under examination.
