Jehovah's Witnesses v. Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses (Supreme Court case)

In Jehovah's Witnesses v. Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Supreme Court addressed whether the local congregation could be held liable for damages caused during a congregation event. The Court ruled that religious organizations and their closely tied entities aren’t automatically immune from liability; instead, they can be held responsible if they were negligent or failed to prevent harm. This decision clarified the balance between religious freedom and the obligation to ensure safety, emphasizing that religious groups can be accountable for their actions or neglect that leads to injury, just like secular organizations.
