Hanna v. Lamarr
Utah Supreme Court
Hanna v. Lamarr, 693 P.2d 677 (Utah 1984)
1984 Utah LEXIS 845
Durham, Hall, Howe, Oaks, Stewart
Hanna v. Lamarr
Opinion of the Court
Plaintiff brought this action to recover for injuries sustained while a guest passenger in a four-wheel-drive vehicle operated by defendant that rolled over while attempting an off-road turn-around.
The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of defendant in reliance upon the Guest Statute, U.C.A., 1953, § 41-9-1. Plaintiff appeals.
Malan v. Lewis, Utah, 693 P.2d 661, also filed this day, determines the Guest Statute to be unconstitutional and thereby requires that we vacate a summary judgment relying on that statute.
The case is remanded for trial. No costs awarded.
