Tribbles are small furry creatures that look like powder puffs. The state argues that tribbles multiply quickly if not kept in a controlled area and can hurt the environment. The ban goes into effect on June 1. Jim is a tribble dealer who lives in Nirvana and buys them from Leonard who lives in the adjacent state of Grace. Leonard is upset over the tribble ban and plans to file a suit. Before the ban goes into effect Jim decides to have a big tribble sale. He buys a new display case which he quickly puts together. Jim doesn’t read the instructions which say the display’s flashing lights could cause seizures in some people. One day McCoy and Uhura are in Jim’s tribble shop. Uhura is on medication for her seizure attacks which happen when she is exposed to flashing lights. While in the store, the display goes off and Uhura has an attack. She causes $10,000 worth of damage but also ends up with $5,000 worth of medical bills. She sues Jim who later also files a countersuit. During the trial, it is revealed Uhura did not take her seizure medication the day of the incident. Based on the above, discuss the relevant substantive legal issues.
