Richard v. Hall

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment dismissing the claims against SSI. It held that the evidence did not establish that Hall was acting within the course and scope of his employment because the hunting lease had never been used for business purposes and Hall was not serving SSI's interests when the accident occurred. It also held that SSI's hunting arrangement was a lease of an incorporeal right and that SSI qualified for recreational-use immunity because its own use was recreational rather than commercial, even though the lessor operated the property commercially.
