OSLO, Norway (AP) - Norway's Supreme Court ruled Friday that the tobacco industry was not responsible for a smoker's death from cancer in the country's first tobacco compensation lawsuit.
When lower courts rejected his claim, saying he could have quit smoking after he learned of the dangers, his widow, Unni Lund, appealed to the Supreme Court.
In its unanimous ruling, the high court said knowledge of the risk of smoking was so widespread after 1964 "and was given so much attention in the media" that Lund must have known the dangers.

 Fur Free Alliance Information About Use of Fur Bearing Animals for Fur
In 1999 the Court of Appeal stated that "...the way that fox and mink are farmed is not in accordance with the basic and fundamental needs of the animals...", and, as a consequence, "...from a purely ethical point of view, fur farming would not be acceptable."
The main reason for this was that the Court of Appeal did not assume itself competent to overrule the Norwegian Parliament, which established the Act of Animal Welfare, and which, appearently, accepts fur farming even if it is concidered to be unethical.
In August, 2000 the Supreme Court decided that it would not accept the appeal in question, as it found it clear that the Norwegian Federation for Animal Welfare did not have a chance of winning the case.
