On May 20, Arnie Walters's car crashed into a train owned and operated by the Regional Transit Authority at its crossing in Smithville. As a matter of law, the court found that the Smithville crossing is extremely hazardous and unreasonably dangerous.. On December 1 of the same year, Ole and Anna Hanson ran into an RTA train at the same crossing. Does the doctrine of stare decisis require that the court in Hanson accept the conclusion announced in the Walters case?
a. Absolutely because the issue is well settled.
b. Yes, and the trial court should grant defendant's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim.
c. Yes, and the trial court should grant summary judgment for the RTA.
d. No, because stare decisis relates to principles of law by which conduct is governed, not to a decision based on a mixed question of law and fact.
