When is liability of a landowner excused when an injury occurs on their property?

When the injured person entered the property without paying any fee to the landowner and is taking part in recreational use of the land.

ALM GL ch. 21, § 17C Essentially states:
A landowner who lawfully permits the public to use such land for recreational, conservation, scientific, educational, environmental, ecological, research, religious, or charitable purposes without imposing a charge or fee, shall not be liable for personal injuries or property damage sustained by such members of the public.

Where Defendants were entitled to immunity as a matter of law under Mass. Gen. Laws Ann. ch. 21, § 17C from tourists’ negligence claims that arose during a tour. The tourists paid neither a direct nor an indirect fee to enter or tour the church and touring is considered to be a recreational activity under the statute.
See. Patterson v. Christ Church,85 Mass. App. Ct. 157(Mass. App. Ct.2014)
