277 A.2d 60

MADDEN, A MINOR ETC. ET AL. v. CLOUSER

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Decided May 13, 1971.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David M. Wortman, with whom were Lawrence A. Shulman, Saul M. Schwartzbach and Schwartzbach & Wortman on the brief, for appellants.

William J. Rowan, III, with whom were Heeney, McAuliffe & McAuliffe on the brief, for appellee.

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


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

In the unfortunate incident causing this case to arise John P. Madden, a seventh grader then 12 years of age, lost the sight of his right eye in a tussle at school during the absence of a teacher from the classroom. For procedural reasons we shall be obliged to dismiss the appeal. Pursuant to Maryland Rule 885, however, to avoid a further appeal to this Court, we shall indicate our views relative to liability.
