Duty of owner of premises to licensee

(a) A licensee is a person who: (1) Is neither a customer, a servant, nor a trespasser; (2) Does not stand in any contractual relation with the owner of the premises; and (3) Is permitted, expressly or impliedly, to go on the premises merely for his own interests, convenience, or gratification. (b) The owner of the premises is liable to a licensee only for willful or wanton injury. (Code 1933, § 105-402.)
