Under Civil Code 846, landowners are generally immune from liability for personal injuries suffered by persons entering their property for recreational use. There is an exception to that immunity if the plaintiff was “expressly invited rather than merely permitted to come upon the premises by the landowner.” This decision holds that despite the statutory wording, immunity is lost if the plaintiff is expressly invited by the landowner or the landowner’s agent. A parent landowner does not impliedly make his child his agent for this purpose merely by allowing the child to reside on the premises and impliedly permitting the child to invite friends onto the property. Rather, there must be evidence that the parent authorized the child to act for the parent in inviting others onto the property.
