The American Law Institute's next Restatement of Torts, which is currently nearing completion, will include a provision that recommends allowing tort claimants to recover medical monitoring expenses absent a physical injury, Shook Public Policy Practice Group Co-Chair Victor Schwartz and Senior Counsel Christopher Appel wrote in an article published in the Spring 2024 edition of the Southwestern Law Review. In “The Restatement (Third) of Torts Proposes Abandoning Tort Law's Present Injury Requirement to Allow Medical Monitoring Claims: Should Courts Follow?,” Victor and Chris discuss the origins and policy implications of the medical monitoring provision as well as the purpose, history and influence of ALI restatements.

Productivity is a word people complain about a lot, but in turn put very little effort into trying to improve it. It's becoming abundantly clear that low productivity isn't the fault of the workers, but instead sits squarely at the feet of government, be it national or regional, the owners, the board, the C-suite, and senior business leaders who refuse to take even the first steps into taking meanfinul action to rectify it. If research showed that your business could make a change, be it for any area, from marketing, sales, customer service, accounts, operations etc, and would have a 95% chance of maintaining or improving that function, with even more flow on positive effects across the board, the business would implement it almost immediately. Here's hoping more decision makers take notice of the growing wave of evidence, and that their antiquated way of thinking becomes a distance memory for the workers of the future. #FutureOfWork #4DayWorkWeek #Productivity
