There is a great wealth of diversity in the business tort laws of all
fifty states and the District of Columbia. In addition to the very significant
differences in the statutes of limitation, other significant differences
include:
-
Some states have not recognized a cause of action for negligent interference
with an economic advantage.
-
Negligent misrepresentation in one state is limited to claims against persons
in the business of supplying information to others.
-
One state recognizes a cause of action for "strict responsibility
misrepresentation."
-
Another state recognizes claims of "prima facie tort" for wrongs that do not
fit into traditional tort categories.
And these are only a few examples of the more significant differences.
