	71115-1 - George A. Minton v. Ralston Purina Company, et al.
		Ralston further asserts that the Agreement addresses the issue of third party beneficiaries and 'in plain language specifically states that any warranties made by the seller in the agreement are made to the buyer alone and that the agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies to non-parties.' Id. at 13.
		Ralston's Liability While RCW 51.04.010 establishes the general liability for self-insured employers, RCW 51.24.030 carves out an exception for an action against a third party.9 Applying this third party exception, Minton argues that Continental and Ralston are also subject to liability as the owners-sellers of defective equipment under DuVon and section 388 of the Restatement.
		Minton's recovery against Ralston is barred because a parent corporation is not liable for the torts committed by its wholly owned subsidiary absent a showing of an intentional disregard for the corporate entity or an intentional fraud.

	Collins v. Ralston Purina Co. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Peter Collins sued his former employer, Golden Cat Corp., in state court; he claimed the company--which was sold to Ralston Purina in April 1995--reneged on its promise in a retention agreement to pay Collins money and benefits if he was fired by the new owner before December 31, 1995.
		Like the district court, we might agree that Ralston's intimations suggest it was headed that way, but it would be just a hunch, and we cannot rewrite the parties' agreement to eliminate an important condition precedent.
		At oral argument, Ralston and Golden Cat pointed to other evidence of multiple contracts in the record, all of which came after the trial court decided that jurisdiction existed, and none of which supports their claim that there were sixty "similar" contracts, each requiring consistent discretionary decisions.
