Adamson v. Port of Bellingham
Washington Supreme Court
Decided April 11, 2019No. 96187-5PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJohnson, J.
*180 ¶1 The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals certified to us a question of premises liability *524 and a broader version of the same overarching question. The heart of the main question is whether a property owner-landlord is liable for injuries that occur on its property when the lessee has exclusive possession at the time of the accident but only priority use under the lease and the landlord has contracted to maintain and repair the premises. We answer the first *181 certified question in the affirmative and need not address the second question.
