J. Love finds that the trial court should not have denied a former building owner's motion for partial summary judgment on the new tenants' claims that they were exposed to toxic barrels stored in the building. In this case, the new tenants did not show that the former owner actively engaged in conduct showing a “wanton or reckless disregard for the public safety in the storage, handling, or transportation of hazardous or toxic substances” under the relevant statute. The former owner's ownership of the toxic barrels does not constitute "conduct" to entitle the tenants to punitive
damages. Reversed.
