Discussion:
Indiana Auto Sales & Repair repossessed an automobile from one of its debtors. Indiana Auto paid an independent contractor $30 to repossess the car. The contractor's 15-year-old, unlicensed employee was directed to repossess the vehicle. During the repossession, the boy exceeded the speed limit and crashed into Birrell, the plaintiff (who is struck by the car). She sustained serious personal injuries as a result of the collision. Birrell brought a lawsuit against Indiana Auto Sales & Repair for the injuries she sustained during the repossession. The trial court found in favor of Indiana Auto Sales & Repair. Birrell appealed the decision. Do you think the court of appeals affirmed or reversed the decision? Why or why not?
