Abstract

In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court the Court granted a defendant’s motion to dismiss, holding he may not be held liable if negligence of driver is not imputed to the owner. In this case, no facts support that the owner (defendant) of the vehicle was the driver of the vehicle when it collided with plaintiff’s vehicle. Fundamental rule of law recognizes that negligence of the driver cannot be imputed to the owner of the vehicle, absent special conditions. The Claim was dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
