Canape v. Petersen
Supreme Court of Colorado
Decided June 5, 1995No. 94SC230PublishedCited by 15 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Vollack
We granted certiorari to consider the following question:
Whether the Colorado Court of Appeals erred in ruling that a violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. § 651 et seq. (1988), cannot be the basis of a negligence per se jury instruction.
