This section does not require a plaintiff to complete the notice-of-claim process described in § 13-20-803.5 before filing a claim.

 The provisions of this part 8 are not intended to abrogate or limit the provisions of any express warranty or the obligations of the provider of such warranty. The provisions of this part 8 shall apply to those circumstances where an action is filed asserting one or more claims for relief including a claim for breach of warranty; except that, in any such action, section 13-20-806 (7) shall not apply to breach of express warranty claims except to the extent that provisions of the express warranty purport to waive or limit claims for relief other than the breach of express warranty claim. The provisions of this part 8 shall not be deemed to require a claimant who is the beneficiary of an express warranty to comply with the notice provisions of section 13-20-803.5 to request ordinary warranty service in accordance with the terms of such warranty. A claimant who requires warranty service shall comply with the provisions of such warranty.   History. Source: L. 2003: Entire section added, p. 1363, § 5, effective April 25.

  The general assembly finds and declares:   The courts of this state are overworked and subject to overloaded dockets;    Section 6 of article II of the Colorado constitution guarantees citizens of this state access to the courts of this state; and    Cases filed by nonresidents of Colorado and having no meaningful relationship to this state are clogging the dockets of the courts and causing delays in cases filed by residents of Colorado.       The general assembly finds that the purposes of this part 10 are:   To ensure access of Colorado citizens to the courts of Colorado; and    To avoid burdening the courts of this state with cases involving injuries suffered outside of the state that may be resolved elsewhere.

 As used in this part 10, unless the context otherwise requires:       “Alternative forum” means a functioning governmental division with judicial powers that may provide redress for a claim, without regard to whether the redress provided is equivalent to the redress provided under Colorado law, and that may exercise jurisdiction over the parties.    An alternative forum shall still be an alternative forum if the statute of limitations for that forum has expired.       “Discovery” means the procedures described in chapter 4 of the Colorado rules of civil procedure.    “Resident” means a resident of the state of Colorado or a person who intends to return to Colorado despite establishing temporary residency elsewhere or despite a temporary absence from Colorado, without regard to the person's country of citizenship or national origin. “Resident” does not mean a person who adopts a residence in Colorado in whole or in part to avoid the application of this part 10.

  In any action otherwise properly filed in a court of this state, a motion to dismiss without prejudice under the doctrine of forum non conveniens shall be granted if:   The claimant or claimants named in the motion are not residents of the state of Colorado;    An alternative forum exists;    The injury or damage alleged to have been suffered occurred outside of the state of Colorado;    A substantial portion of the witnesses and evidence is outside of the state of Colorado; and    There is a significant possibility that Colorado law will not apply to some or all of the claims.       In any action otherwise properly filed in a court of this state, a motion to dismiss without prejudice under the doctrine of forum non conveniens may be granted if the court finds that the factor specified in paragraph   of subsection (1) of this section is present and that at least one or more but fewer than all of the factors specified in paragraphs (b) to (e) of subsection (1) of this section are present, and based upon such factors, the court finds that in the interest of judicial economy or for the convenience of the parties, a party's claim or action should be heard in a forum outside of Colorado.       In determining whether the factors specified in subsection (1) of this section are present, the court may consider evidence outside of the pleadings, but no formal discovery shall be permitted.      The court may set conditions for dismissing a claim or action under this section as the interests of justice may require.    If the statute of limitations in the alternative forum expires while the claim is pending in a court in Colorado, the court shall grant a dismissal under this section only if each defendant waives all defenses that the statute of limitation in the alternative forum has expired.

  [ ] Notwithstanding sections 13-21-111 and .5, a court or jury shall not allocate any damages awarded in an action brought pursuant to this part 12 in any proportion against a victim of sexual misconduct.    Notwithstanding section 13-21-101, prejudgment interest on a claim brought pursuant to this part 12 does not begin to accrue until the plaintiff files the claim pursuant to section 13-20-1202.    The maximum amount that may be recovered in a claim brought pursuant to this part 12 is:   For a claim brought against a public employee or public entity, as provided in section 13-20-1207; and    For any other claim, five hundred thousand dollars; except that if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant failed to take remedial action against a person or persons the defendant knew or should have known, based on information that, at the time of the incident, was in the defendant's possession or was publicly or readily available through commonly used practices, posed a risk of sexual misconduct to a minor and that the application of such limitation would be unfair, the court may award in excess of the limitation up to the amount of damages awarded by the jury.

 Every husband, wife, child, parent, guardian, employer, or other person who is injured in person, or property, or means of support by any intoxicated person, or in consequence of the intoxication of any person, has a right of action, in his or her name, against any person who, by selling or giving away intoxicating liquors to any habitually intoxicated person or person with an alcohol use disorder, causes the intoxication, in whole or in part, of such habitually intoxicated person or person with an alcohol use disorder; and all damages recovered by a minor pursuant to this section must be paid either to the minor or to his or her parent, guardian, or next friend, as the court directs. The unlawful sale or giving away of intoxicating liquors works a forfeiture of all rights of the lessee or tenant under any lease or contract of rent upon the premises. Liability must not accrue against any such person as provided unless the husband, wife, child, parent, guardian, or employer first, by written or printed notice, has notified such person, or his or her agents or employees, not to sell or give away any intoxicating liquors to any habitually intoxicated person or person with an alcohol use disorder.

 If any person keeping a public ranch or stable uses or allows to be used, without the consent of the owner, any horse, ox, mule, or ass that may have been left with him to be ranched or fed, he shall forfeit to the owner all ranch or stable fees that may be due upon such animal used and the additional sum of five dollars for each day such animal has been used, to be collected in the same manner as other debts.

For article, “Measuring Damages for Tortious Injury to Companion Animals”, see 42 Colo. Law. 21 (Feb. 2013).   This section evidently aims at people who keep public places. Its specific language is “a public ranch or stable”. This language can only be taken as intended by the general assembly to apply to those who keep stables or ranches for general use, and take, the contract being otherwise acceptable, whatever stock may be offered and by whomsoever it may be offered, so long as the parties are unobjectionable and willing to pay. Manifestly, it does not include all ranchmen nor all stable keepers. Harper v. Lockhart, 9 Colo. App. 430, 48 P. 901 (1897).   A keeper who has used some of the animals entrusted to him may nevertheless retain a lien upon those not used. Harper v. Lockart, 9 Colo. App. 430, 43 P. 901 (1897).   Burden of proving reduction in amount of lien is on plaintiff in replevin. A plaintiff in replevin, to recover animals from an agister, who desires to rely on the provision of this section, is bound to state the number of animals used, and to offer his proof for the definite purpose of reducing the amount of the lien which the defendant would be entitled to insist on.
