ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISES LTD.’S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF ITS AMENDED MOTION TO DISMISS THE COMPLAINT FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CAUSE OF ACTIONCase 1:19-cv-25100-DLG
Document 32 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/04/2020 14 Pages
32 - RCCL Response 3-4.pdf
I'm just going to put my favorite part right here:
"The Court should summarily deny Plaintiffs’ improper request for leave to amend embedded in the Response because they fail to attach a proposed pleading or point to any evidence showing that amendment would not be futile because of the lack of notice."
The status conference is next Wednesday morning. Unless the judge decides to toss all this before then that's probably when we'll get an answer if this dog and pony show is going to be continuing or if it's getting shut down.
There are so many gems in here, starting with my favorite:
Plaintiffs’ failure to allege even one similar prior incident is not an oversight, but rather evidence of their inability to make such allegations, and the futility of further amendment.
the court explained that the cruise line “had no duty to warn Plaintiff about something that she should have noticed through the ordinary use of her senses.”
“[t]he obviousness of a danger and adequacy of a warning are determined by a ‘reasonable person’ standard, rather than on each particular plaintiff’s subjective appreciation of the danger. Individual subjective perceptions of the injured party are irrelevant.
The Complaint fails to allege that a passenger has ever done what Mr. Anello did. This is because any reasonable person would have 1) not placed an 18-month old child where he did, and 2) would have perceived with their ordinary senses that the window, open to the outside light, noise and air, was open.
