Municipality Not Liable for General Debt Collection Omission
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAA plaintiff sued a municipality seeking state liability for a failure to provide collection assistance regarding an outstanding debt owed to the plaintiff. The court reasoned that state liability in such a case requires a breach of an official duty that is specifically intended to protect the injured party, and in this instance, the municipality's duty regarding debt collection was deemed a general administrative function not specifically enacted for the protection of individual creditors, thus precluding a finding of state liability for the alleged omission.
