General Electric Company, Petitioner v. Arthur Lee Moritz, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s summary judgment, holding that General Electric owed no duty to warn an independent contractor’s employee of an open and obvious ramp defect and that GE did not control the specific activity that caused the injury; the Court of Appeals erred in reversing. Justice GREEN dissented, arguing that the majority misapplies Parker and should have remanded the premises‑defect claim.
