Lang v. Holly Hill Motel, 2009-Ohio-2495 – violation of Ohio Basic Building Code does not preclude application of open and obvious doctrine

We have previously blogged about the effect of an Ohio Basic Building Code violation in a slip-and-fall case.  The Ohio Supreme Court recently weighed in on the issue in Lang, holding that a violation of the OBBC does not create an exception to the no-duty rule for open and obvious dangers.  Full opinion is here [PDF].
