Description
This is an appeal by American Ladder & Scaffold Co., Inc., the plaintiff below (herein sometimes referred to as American Ladder), from an adverse summary judgment. Defendant leased from American Ladder a 40-foot aluminum extension ladder. It collapsed in use, and two workmen were injured. A suit brought by them against American Ladder was settled. American Ladder then filed this action against defendant on an indemnity contract embodied in the lease instrument. One Brooks, described as a mechanic or installation foreman, had been sent by defendant to American Ladder to obtain the ladder. On doing so, he signed a lease contract proffered by American Ladder which included an undertaking by the lessee to indemnify plaintiff-lessor for any loss from maintenance or use of the ladder. Defendant answered, denying Brooks had authority to so obligate it, and averring he did not know the contents of the paper he signed and thought it was a receipt.
