Emily Mardia v. Nana Jane's, also known as the hot pizza case, was a lawsuit filed in the United Planetary Factions. In the filing, Nana Jane's was accused of serving burning hot food to Emily Mardia. During the proceedings, Emily Mardia was found dead inside her car. The lawsuit resulted in the court ruling that Nana Jane's was not liable.
Background
Nana Jane's (formerly Papa Johns, Grandpa Johns, and Mama Maria) began in 1984 as a pizza restaurant chain. Over its over 550-year history, it expanded into several industries (including construction and telecommunications) and changed hands several times.
On 16 December 2535, Emily Mardia was served a pizza at over 55 °C, a temperature that is hot enough to burn skin. She was admitted to the hospital with a second-degree burn on the roof of her mouth and third-degree burn on her left leg. Her hospital stay lasted over 4 months.
Lawsuit
Mardia filed a lawsuit in 2536, seeking £670 million in damages. Mardia accused Nana Jane's of intentionally serving a pizza which was unfit for consumption (high temperature). Nana Jane's denied the allegations, stating that they had followed the food safety guidelines published by the Independent Commission for Food and Drink Safety in Establishments.
On 12 August 2536, during the lawsuit, Mardia was found dead in her 2505 Hando Civic with stab wounds in her mouth, on her left leg, and on her eye. In a police report, it was found that the wounds were self-inflicted, with no foul play occurring.
Public interest in the case significantly increased after her death. A video published by Nana Jane's 24 days before the death mentions a "day of reckoning."
The final verdict was that Nana Jane's followed all industry-wide guidelines and standards, leaving them not liable.
