About this listen

This legal document presents an appeal in the case of J.F., a minor, against Carnival Corporation, following a sexual assault that occurred on a cruise ship. The central issue revolves around whether Carnival was negligent, specifically if they had a duty to protect J.F. and if their actions, or lack thereof, were the proximate cause of her injuries. The court analyzes whether previous incidents or internal policies provided sufficient notice to Carnival of the specific risk J.F. faced, concluding that the plaintiff's arguments about foreseeability and causation were too speculative. Ultimately, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's decision to grant summary judgment in favor of Carnival.
