Lawsuit to stop a lawsuit
Posted: August 31, 2008 Filed under: Challenge or Ropes Course, Climbing Wall Leave a comment
A youth services agency in Doylestown a suburb of Philadelphia PA is suing the Doylestown Township to force them to protect their climbing wall and ropes course. The youth services agency rents the first floor of a converted barn from the township. Located on that floor are an indoor ropes course and a climbing gym. The township controls the rest of the building and allegedly is allowing people to access the ropes course and climbing gym when the youth services agency is not around. See Lawsuit: Town allowing access to climbing wall.
The suit claims by allowing access to the leased premises where the ropes course and climbing wall are located the town is exposing the agency to a risk of a lawsuit. They are asking for an injunction, (a court order to immediately stop the access) and their costs to allegedly protect themselves.
Seems a little oxymoronic to use one lawsuit to stop a possible lawsuit?
