Indiana Court of Appeals
Calvary Temple Church of Evansville, Inc v. Gerard A. Kirsch
23A-CT-1728
Civil tort. Affirms the Vanderburgh Superior Court’s denial of the Calvary Temple Church’s motion for summary judgment on Gerard Kirsch’s complaint alleging Calvary’s negligence. Finds that under Indiana Code section 34-31-7-2, “premises . . . used primarily for worship services” means only those portions of the premises that are used primarily for worship services. Also finds that Calvary did not designate evidence that the shed where Kirsch was injured was used primarily for worship services. Finally, finds Calvary’s summary judgment motion turns solely on an interpretation of the statute that the appellate court rejects.
