Van Horn v. Watson

In Van Horn v. Watson (2008) 45 Cal.4th 322, the Supreme Court considered whether or not a particular Health and Safety Code provision regarding liability for "emergency care" provided at the scene of an emergency should be read expansively so as to include emergency nonmedical care provided at the scene of a nonmedical emergency. (Van Horn, at pp. 327-331.) Thus, the court was considering how broadly to interpret a generally stated phrase.
