JUDICIAL DECISIONS   Genuine issue of fact remained as to causation of food poisoning.    - In an action by rehearsal dinner guests against a caterer alleging food poisoning, summary judgment for the caterer was error; the caterer's circumstantial evidence of the absence of causation (others did not become ill, the guests consumed other food and drink, and did not become ill until days later) was contradicted by other evidence.

Res ipsa loquitur principle misapplied in consumer food product liability case.    - In a consumer food product liability case, the trial court misapplied the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur because having found that the doctrine applied, the trial court was obligated to allow the jury to determine whether the defendant's negligence, if any, was the proximate cause of the plaintiff's injuries under a jury charge that included the principle of res ipsa loquitur instead of granting summary judgment to the defendant.
