Judge Partially Dismisses Lead Case Against School, Finds Right Of Action Lacking

BOSTON - A federal judge in Massachusetts on Feb. 11 partially dismissed a lead-contaminated drinking water complaint against a school, ruling that the plaintiff may bring a claim for violation of bodily integrity, but he may not assert a private right of action because he is not a student in the school and he did not name a student as one of the plaintiffs (Michael Hootstein v. Amherst-Pelham Regional School Committee, No. 17-30146, D. Mass., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 21793).
