Supreme Court of New Hampshire

Janet Bisceglia v. Secretary of State & a.

April 1, 2022

Summary

The court held that New Hampshire's recreational-use immunity statute protects landowners only against negligence claims by persons injured while using the land for recreational purposes without charge. Because Bisceglia was injured while standing on federally owned land and never used the State's property, the statute did not bar her claim, and summary judgment for the State was improper.
