Norris v. Ross Stores, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “[L]iability for breach of a non-delegable duty is an exception to the general rule that one who employs an independent contractor is not liable for the independent contractor’s negligence.”
• Non-delegable duty is something of a misnomer, as the owner is free to delegate the duty of performance to another, but the owner cannot thereby avoid or delay its liability for the non-performance of the delegated duties.”
