In a joint statement, Reporters Freeman Engstrom and Green said:

Our goal was to ensure that vital areas of tort doctrine—those not addressed in other Restatement projects—were given the careful and comprehensive treatment they deserve. This work encompasses legal principles that courts and practitioners encounter regularly, such as vicarious liability and governmental immunities, as well as emerging and evolving doctrines like spoliation and medical monitoring. We are deeply grateful to the many ALI members, Council members, Advisers, and MCG participants who gave their time, ideas, and insights to improve this project. And we must especially acknowledge the foundational contributions of the late Bill Powers, whose brilliance, warmth, and vision helped guide this work from its earliest days. Bill’s influence is present on every page, and we are honored to have helped bring his vision to fruition.
