To Sue Yourself as Others Sue You

An appellate court in Utah recently ruled that a woman appointed personal representative of her
deceased husbands estate could sue herself on behalf of her husbands sole heir, herself, for
negligently causing the motor vehicle accident that caused her husbands death. The ABA
Journal story is here.
The appellate decision is wholly insensitive to the absurdity of its conclusion. Of course, the
purpose of such litigation where the only interested participants are me, myself and I, is to take
money from an insurer for the benefit of all concerned.
So much for the adversarial process.
