John F. Dommel and Reba Dommel v. Managers, Inc.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
John F. Dommel and Reba Dommel v. Managers, Inc., 288 F.2d 154 (D.C. Cir. 1961)
John F. Dommel and Reba Dommel v. Managers, Inc.
Opinion
When John F. Dommel stepped on a manhole cover in front of an apartment house of which he was a resident and former manager, the cover tilted and he was injured. He sued the owner and rental agent of the apartment house, and also made the District of Columbia a defendant. His wife sued for loss of consortium.
Holding the defendants had neither actual nor constructive notice of the alleged defective condition, the trial court directed a verdict in their favor, whereupon this appeal was taken. We find no error.
Affirmed.
