Question

A plaintiff sued a defendant for injuries allegedly suffered when he slipped and fell on the defendant's business property. At trial, without asking that the defendant's property manager be declared a hostile witness, the plaintiff called him solely to establish that the defendant was the owner of the property where the plaintiff fell. On cross-examination of the manager, the defendant's attorney sought to establish that the defendant had taken reasonable precautions to make the property safe for business invitees. Should the defendant's cross-examination of the manager be permitted over the plaintiff's objection?

Answer 1

In Ability Center, et al. v. Moline Builders, et al., the court issued a decision on August 10, 2020 giving partial summary judgement in favor of the plaintiffs and against the defendants (N.D. Ohio).

The front entrance and the walkway leading to a covered unit must be accessible to people with disabilities under the Fair Housing Act's accessibility standards for newly built multifamily residences.

Defendants contended that their primary responsibility was to create a path for people with disabilities to enter the apartment, which they claimed they had accomplished by constructing a path through the garage.

The front entrances and walkways of covered houses are "public use and common use components," according to the United States' Statement of Interest.
