Description
PAULSON, Judge (on reassignment). The defendant, Montgomery Ward, a corporation engaged in a retail business in downtown Jamestown, is appealing from a judgment
of the District Court of Stutsman County awarding damages to the plaintiff, Mrs. Harold Strandness, for injuries she suffered
as the result of a fall on the sidewalk in front of the Montgomery Ward store on February 16, 1970. Mrs. Strandness slipped
on a patch of ice as she was leaving the Montgomery Ward store and struck her head on the building as she fell. The patch
of ice, estimated as being from one to three feet in diameter, was formed by water leaking from the space between the store
building and a canopy which extended out over the sidewalk. The canopy, which was installed by Montgomery Ward, was equipped
with rain gutters which usually discharged drainage water elsewhere than onto the sidewalk.
