Shipley v. Perlberg

ADKINS, Judge.

This case is about whether a corporate officer and director is individually liable for lead paint injuries to the resident of a corporately owned property. Steven Shipley, appellant, sued Marvin Perlberg (“Perlberg”), appellee, for injuries caused by lead paint poisoning while Shipley was residing at 1641 West Lafayette Avenue, in Baltimore City (the “subject property”). Perlberg denied any involvement with the renting of the subject property to Shipley’s family, and moved for summary judgment. On August 21, 2000, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City granted Perlberg’s motion.
