Minnesota Supreme Court urged the Legislature to remove municipal immunity for torts in public recreation after denying 17 500 damages plus funeral costs to Lucille Nissen over her 1951 drowning of her 5 year old son at Highland Park pool. The court said current law shielded the city of St Paul despite negligence evidence and noted courts should not write laws.
