Nature Of The Case

This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Facts

In 1974, I.R.M. (D) acquired an apartment building that was built in 1962. In 1978, Becker (P) was injured because he slipped and fell against an untempered shower door. D's maintenance man replaced 31 doors after the accident and stated that there was no way that a layperson could tell the difference between the tempered and untempered glass shower doors simply by looking. P sued, under strict liability. D claims that it is liable only for defects of which it had knowledge. The trial court granted D a summary judgment. P appealed.
