Hensley did business under the trade name Royalty Builders. He hired 16-year-old Robert France to do roofing work for him during a spring break from high school. Southern Equipment needed a new metal roof on a building and accepted a bid from Quality Metal Roof. Quality hired Royalty to do the work and supplied the materials. France, working on the roof, fell off and suffered serious head injuries.
Among others, he sued Southern for exposing him to the inherently dangerous job of roofing. Southern was granted summary judgment in its favor by the trial (circuit) court. France appealed.

1. Having France on the job violated federal and state employment law due to France's age on a dangerous worksite. Could that change Southern's liability?
2. France argued that Southern's managers should have noticed that a young person was working on the roof and inquired about it. Is that a credible argument?
