Beth invited friends for a picnic and touch football game in her backyard. Roger, one of her guests, broke his ankle when his fo
ot slipped into a hole as he ran out for a pass. Several malfunctioning sprinkler heads had been removed from the lawn for repairs, leaving dangerous, but hidden, holes. In common law, would Beth be liable to Roger for his injuries?
In common law Beth would be liable to Roger's Injuries.
