Description

Inability of the Judges of Division One to reach a majority decision in this case caused it to be transferred to Court En
Banc. Supplemental briefs were then filed and the case was again argued and finally submitted. Portions of an opinion considered
in Division will be incorporated herein without the use of quotation marks. On June 11, 1952, certain insurance associations and exchanges, known as "Farmers Insurance Group", hereinafter referred
to as "Farmers", by written contract effective June 1, 1952, appointed defendant Jack L. Bridges as their "district agent"
in charge of their newly established District 23. On June 21, 1952, a formal opening of their new district office in Clinton,
Missouri, was held, to which the general public was invited. During the reception held on that occasion, plaintiff, an invitee,
fell down a stairway leading into the cellar of the building in which the office was located as he sought entrance to a toilet
to which he had been directed by defendant Bridges. This action for $75,000 damages ensued. Verdict and judgment went for
defendants. Thereafter, plaintiff was granted a new trial on grounds that the court erred in giving Instructions 8 and 9.
Both defendants appealed from that order. Farmers also contends that the trial court erred in failing to direct a verdict
in its behalf on grounds the evidence showed as a matter of law that the relationship of Bridges to Farmers was that of an
independent contractor.
