Opinion
No. 642 MAL 2008.
November 9, 2010.
Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court.
ORDER
AND NOW, this 9th day of November, 2010, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are:
1. Is it against public policy for a party's exculpatory agreement to release it from liability for recklessness?
2. If it is not against public policy, how specific must the release language be to successfully release a party from recklessness?
3. Does a release from liability that mentions an employer, but does not specifically mention its employees, operate to release those employees from liability for acts committed in the course and scope of their employment?
Justice ORIE MELVIN did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
