Indiana Court of Appeals
Kaitlyn Schneider v. Paragon Realty LLC
32A01-1511-CT-1858
Civil tort. Affirms summary judgment for Paragon Realty LLC after the COA ruled the property management company had no duty of care to Kaitlyn Schneider, who was involved in a crash with a driver while both were intoxicated. The company’s liability was to the physical upkeep of the building, not its employees who served Schneider and the driver.
Tresa Megenity v. David Dunn
22A04-1506-CT-722
Civil tort. Reverses and remands summary judgment for David Dunn after the majority ruled Dunn’s kick while Tresa Megenity was holding a bag during a karate drill constituted an issue of material fact. The COA ruled the type of kick Dunn did may not have been normal activity for the drill the two were involved in at the time. Judge Patricia Riley dissented, saying the majority ruled too narrowly. She thought the kick was normal behavior in the sport of karate itself and would have ruled to uphold summary judgment.
