HENSLEY v. HENKELS & McCOY, INC.

[No. 278, September Term, 1969.]

258 Md. 397 (1970)

265 A.2d 897

HENSLEY, A MINOR, ETC., ET AL. v. HENKELS & McCOY, INC.

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Decided June 5, 1970.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John D. Connelly for appellants.

Hal C.B. Clagett, with whom were Thomas A. Farrington and Sasscer, Clagett, Powers & Channing on the brief, for appellee.

The cause was argued before HAMMOND, C.J., and McWILLIAMS, FINAN, SINGLEY, SMITH and DIGGES, JJ.

SMITH, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.

This case is an admitted attempt at an end run around the oft-expressed Maryland doctrine which states, "[T]he owner of land owes no duty to a trespasser or licensee, even one of tender years, except to abstain from wilful or wanton misconduct and entrapment." The most recent pronouncements of this doctrine are found in Hicks v. Hitaffer, 256 Md. 659
