Description

Appellant George Sweat sued respondent speedway owner Big Time Auto Racing for personal injuries suffered when the speedway pit-area bleachers collapsed. In respondents answer to appellants complaint, the tenth affirmative defense alleges appellant had released respondent from all liability for any injuries sustained while on the premises. In the first phase of a bifurcated trial limited to the adjudication of this asserted complete defense, the trial court found for respondent, determining that the injury was reasonably related to the purpose of the release agreement. Based upon the release of liability, the court awarded judgment in favor of respondent. Appellant appeals, claiming the negligence in this case was not reasonably related to the purpose of the release. We reverse.
