Elzie Pauline Rourke v. Adolph O. Garza, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the judgment against Rourke Rental, holding that the scaffold boards supplied without cleat-type devices were defective and unreasonably dangerous, making Rourke strictly liable under Texas product liability law, and that Har-Con's superintendent lacked apparent authority to bind the company to the indemnity provision.
