Wis JI-Civil 1910
Safe-Place Statute: Place of Employment: Business
To be a place of employment, two things must concur:
First, a place where industry, trade, or business is carried on;
Second, an employment of another for the employer's gain or profit.
The ownership of a (parking lot) (apartment building) (house), and the keeping of the
same in repair and renting, does not in and of itself constitute a business; but such
transactions may amount to a business within the meaning of the statute if they are carried on
to such extent as to require a substantial and habitual application of time and labor in the
management and operation of the same.
You will determine from the evidence whether the defendant was conducting a
business in the management and operation of the (parking lot) (apartment building) (house)
or whether it was only an investment in rental property.
