Legg v. Blanchfield

The 12-year-old plaintiff jumped from the roof of a structure on property occupied by the family of a playmate onto a wooden fence on neighboring property owned by defendant Blanchfield and leased by defendant Lindstedt. The top board of the fence broke, and plaintiff fell and was injured. He brought this action, alleging in one claim that the fence was an “attractive nuisance” and in a second claim that he was defendants’ licensee rather than a trespasser. The trial court granted summary judgment for defendants. Plaintiff appeals, and we affirm.
