Wallace v. Rosen


a.       While dropping off homework to her high school daughter, P was standing in the stair landing of the high school.
b.      Fire alarm went off signaling a fire drill. D, a teacher, was moving her students down the stairs. Then D used her fingers to push P’s back and told her to “move it”. This caused P to fall and sustain injuries.
                                                              i.      No Liability: “In a crowded world, a certain amount of personal contact is inevitable and must be accepted.” Test: Would the act be offensive to an ordinary person not unduly sensitive as to personal dignity?
