Blue Grass Restaurant Company v. Franklin

STEINFELD, Judge.

Herbert R. Franklin was attending a banquet in a motel. While descending steps leading to rest rooms available to the public he fell and was injured. He recovered judgment for $12,537.00 jointly against Blue Grass Restaurant Company, Inc. and Eastland Investment Company. Subsequently, the trial court adjudged that Blue Grass should fully indemnify Eastland. Eastland and Blue Grass appeal from the judgment for Franklin, and Blue Grass appeals from the judgment awarding indemnity to Eastland. We affirm.
