  1. Anderson et al v. Snyder et al

    BRIEF in support of CORRECTED MOTION to dismiss Plaintiffs' Complaint

    Filed September 15, 2016

    Case 1:16-cv-00874-GJQ-PJG ECF No. 33 filed 09/15/16 PageID.1047 Page 46 of 65 33 relationship between the Plaintiffs and the MDEQ Employee Defendants or that the latter acted for or upon behalf of the Plaintiffs. Insofar as the “foreseeability” element is concerned, Samson v. Saginaw Professional Building, Inc., 393 Mich. 393, 406; 224 N.W.2d 843 (1975) said: “The mere fact that an event may be foreseeable does not impose a duty upon the defendant to take some kind of action accordingly…[T]o require the actor to act, some sort of relationship must exist between the actor and the other party which the law or society views as sufficiently strong….” Even if the MDEQ Employee Defendants could arguably foresee that consumers of Flint’s water may hypothetically encounter one or more of the contaminants at issue, the MDEQ Employee Defendants, as individuals, were not responsible for the City of Flint’s decision to switch its water source and effectuate that switch before implementing corrosion control.
