The 1st Defendant, although occupier of the structure, did not exercise the requisite control or supervision to impose an employer-like duty and the occupier's duty was minimal because the danger was obvious and willingly accepted by the Plaintiff; accordingly the claim against the 1st Defendant was dismissed. The 3rd Defendant was liable as employer (precluded from denying it) and the Plaintiff was not contributorily negligent; damages were assessed and reduced by the prior employees' compensation award.
