User of stairs at rental property brought personal injury action against rental property owner arising from fall on stairs, and owner filed third-party claim against city for negligent hiring, retaining, or supervising of an allegedly unqualified city employee who inspected the property.
The District Court denied city’s motion to dismiss the third-party claim. User and owner both sought interlocutory review, which was granted.
The Supreme Court held that city had statutory immunity from the negligent hiring claim.
