UJI 13-1208. Joint enterprise; imputation of negligence.

Last amended: 1987Year: 1987Length: 117 wordsOfficial source
A joint enterprise existed between passenger and driver if these two elements were present: (1) a common purpose in the use of a vehicle; and (2) the right in each to share in the control of the vehicle. As to the second element, the question for you to decide is whether there was a right in each to share in the control of the car rather than the actual exercise of such right of control. If you find that there was a joint enterprise, then any negligence of the driver is the negligence of the plaintiff, but, if you do not find a joint enterprise, the negligence of the driver is not the negligence of the passenger.
