Lang v. Henderson

The statement in the majority opinion by Mr. Bond, Chief Justice, is ample for an understanding of the nature of the case. I am in accord with the majority in saying “The fire was caused by ignition of escaping gas from defective condition of the water heater; and, we think, the evidence introduced by appellant would have entitled appellant to submission of issues on the question of the landlord’s negligence in failing to safely repair the heater or provide another heater safe and sufficient for the joint use of all the apartments, to avoid incurring injuries.”

However, I respectfully dissent…
