Hirschbach v. Cincinnati Gas & Electric Co.

Locher, J.,

dissenting. I share the conclusions expressed by Justice William B. Brown in his dissent and, thus, cannot join with the majority in its decision. Moreover, I must further reject the court’s analysis for the reasons articulated in the dissent in Anderson v. Ceccardi (1983), 6 Ohio St. 3d 110, as I do not believe that the enactment of R.C. 2315.19 resulted in the merger of the defense of assumption of risk with that of contributory negligence.
