Abstract

The article focuses on recent legal developments in sports-related litigation, highlighting a Pennsylvania appellate court ruling involving disc golf and premises liability. The court held that Seven Springs Mt. Resort, Inc., owed the plaintiff, a business invitee injured while playing disc golf, the highest duty of care to protect against both known and discoverable dangers, rejecting the defendant’s “open and obvious” defense due to the distracting nature of the sport and the terrain’s hazards. This decision emphasizes that landowners must maintain safe conditions even when dangers might be apparent, potentially requiring significant alterations to disc golf courses to meet legal standards. Additionally, the article briefly notes the dismissal of an antitrust lawsuit filed by The Enhanced Games against World Aquatics for failure to state a claim. Extracted from the article
