charitable immunity in Missouri

1980Likewise in Schulte v. Missionaries of La Salette Corp. of Mo., 352 S.W.2d 636 (Mo.1962), it was held that the doctrine of charitable immunity did not violate the provisions of Article 1, Section 14.

1969During the eight years since our decision in Schulte v.

1976In Kreuger v. Schmiechen, 364 Mo. 568 , 264 S.W.2d 311 (1954) the plaintiff brought suit against the pastor and directors of a church in their representative capacity as members of the “Consistory”.

1976The Maryland Court of Appeals noted 300 A. 2d at 678 : “Suffice it to say, the question whether immunity should be extended to cover the negligent employee of a charitable institution seems never to have been decided by this Court, and, ironically, there is a paucity of authority elsewhere, even though cases on the basic subject abound.” The court went on to note that charitable immunity was alive and well in Maryland and was bottomed on the “trust fund” theory.

1976The court, 300 A.2d at 679 , concluded: “In sum, when we bear in mind the historical background of the charitable immunity doctrine as applied in this state, there is no sound reason for extending the cloak to a negligent employee.

1969The court said parenthetically ( 99 S.W. at 454 ) that it makes no difference whether the person is a paying or nonpaying patient. [3] It is generally recognized that McDonald v. Massachusetts General Hospital, decided in 1876, was the first case in this country adopting the doctrine of charitable immunity; that the foundation of immunity is dictum in Heriot's Hospital v. Ross, 12 Clark & Fin. 507 (1846) and Duncan v. Findlater, 6 Clark & Fin. 894 (1839), the latter being followed in Holliday v. St.

1909There was not any evidence in this case, so far as the bill of exceptions shows, that the first husband of Mrs. Klein was still living; but if this had been established, we think she was still entitled to the benefit of the favorable presumption that the first marriage had been dissolved by a divorce, and that it was not incumbent on her, in this character of action and under the pleadings in this case, to produce a record of the judicial or legislative proceedings by which the divorce was effected.’ “And on page 263, Judge Napton further said: ‘There was no proof that her first husband was li
