No. 73-51.

PRESLEY, APPELLANT, v. CITY OF NORWOOD, APPELLEE.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided October 31, 1973.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Messrs. Waite, Schindel, Bayless & Schneider, Mr. Philip J. Schneider and Mr. Stanley M. Chesley, for appellant.

Mr. Thomas B. Walker, city solicitor, for appellee.


STERN, J.

Resolution of this case involves a two-step determination. First, did the trial court err in failing to charge the jury that appellee must have had knowledge of the hazardous condition of the premises before it could be found negligent? Second, did appellee waive its right to question the court's charge by not objecting thereto before the jury retired? Our initial focus is on the adequacy of the charge.
