U.S. Chamber files amicus brief
June 19, 2007
NCLC filed a brief urging the Oregon Supreme Court to follow the United States Supreme Court and join many of its sister jurisdictions in declining to adopt medical monitoring causes of action under federal and state laws respectively. In its brief, NCLC argued that creation of such a cause of action was better suited to the legislature and that, in any event, traditional tort law principles undermine the creation of a medical monitoring cause of action absent a physical injury.
