Description
I Dissent to denial of transfer. Action was brought by Babette and Jerome Fleischer due to injuries Babette Fleischer received while attending a religious service at the Hebrew Orthodox Congregation (hereinafter Congregation). A Congregation member tripped on a "gather" in a plastic runner and fell against Babette Fleischer, causing her to receive personal injuries. She brought action against the Congregation in the St. Joseph Superior Court. After the trial court granted summary judgment for the Congregation, the Fleischers appealed. The court of appeals held that the public invitee test was the proper guide for determining whether a person was an invitee entitled to recover for injuries caused by negligent maintenance of premises; that a woman who was in the synagogue for the purpose of attending service was a public invitee when she was injured such that the Congregation owed her a duty to use reasonable care to keep the synagogue safe for her; and that therefore a general issue of material fact existed as to whether the Congregation was negligent in failing to maintain a plastic runner so as to preclude summary judgment. Fleischer v. Hebrew Orthodox Congregation (1987), Ind., 504 N.E.2d 320 (Hoffman, J., Dissenting).
