In the case of Drema Morris et al. v. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp et al., the Supreme Court of Louisiana denied a writ on May 19, 1989, due to the plaintiff's failure to seek writs, which precluded review of the Court of Appeal's handling of fault related to the plaintiff. Justice Watson concurred with the denial of the writ but expressed strong disagreement with the Court of Appeal and jury's determination of a percentage of fault attributed to the victim. Watson emphasized that negligence was not a relevant issue concerning either the perpetrators or the victim. Furthermore, the trial court was found to have erred in not granting the plaintiff's motion for partial judgment notwithstanding the verdict concerning this matter.
