Facts: The plaintiff/accident victim was a member of a senior citizens club that held meetings in a church. All religions were welcome. A club volunteer set up a folding table incorrectly and it collapsed, injuring the plaintiff. So what else? He sues the church.
We are not told the extent of plaintiff's injuries.
Held: The Church played no part in the setting up of the table nor did it contribute to the happening of this accident. The Court rightly throws out plaintiff's case on a defense summary judgment motion.
