Prince v. Pacific Gas & Electric Company PART II
Utility's immunity from liability to plaintiff injured by contact with power line for which utility had an easement, pursuant to Civil Code Sec. 846 which provides with certain exceptions that a property owner "owes no duty of care to keep the premises safe for entry or use by others for any recreational purpose" precludes property owner, potentially liable to plaintiff under one of the statutory exceptions, from recovering on cross complaint alleging utility's liability for implied contractual indemnity based on its breach of a contractual duty owed to property owner to maintain its power line easement in repair.
