Do Unique Virginia Laws Protect Virginia Tech in a Potential Liability Case?: Legal Expert Available to Address Key Elements of Liability in

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (BusinessWire EON) April 20, 2007 --     According to Virginia attorney and legal security expert, William D. Breit, "Sovereign Immunity essentially means that Virginia Tech cannot be sued, except under certain provisions in the Virginia Tort Claims Act. In other words, under Virginia law the school may only be held liable under limited circumstances unique to the Commonwealth."

The issue in people's minds of whether the students at Norris Hall could have been spared if the university responded differently may also prove to be a contentious legal issue. Ordinarily, under Virginia law, Virginia Tech would not be responsible for the criminal assault committed by a student. However, in Virginia there are unique exceptions to this rule that may make the school responsible for failing to take appropriate action.

Breit has argued similar cases of third party liability in a criminal assault before the Commonwealth of Virginia Supreme Court. He is available to comment on the public debate regarding legal issues unique to Virginia that the university may face and how the courts would determine whether Virginia Tech could be held accountable for the tragedy.

Questions that Breit is available to discuss include:

-- What are the key liability issues facing the university?

-- Is Virginia Tech responsible for criminal assaults committed on campus by third parties?

-- Is Virginia Tech entitled to sovereign immunity, a recognized legal doctrine in the Commonwealth of Virginia?

-- Did they have actual notice that a crime was being committed on their property and did they fail to take necessary precautions?
