Ryan v. Maryland Casualty Co‪.‬

Failing in a settlement of the damages sustained, they brought separate actions against the defendants, James W. and Cardwell Hannabass. The sole ground of liability against the father was sought under the provisions of section 2154(190) of the Code, which gives a cause of action against the owner of an automobile who knowingly permits a minor under the age of sixteen years (who cannot obtain a driving permit under the provisions of the automobile act) to drive an automobile upon the highway.
