It is clear that any person who occupies a property owes a duty of care for the safety of any person who legally uses the premises. In places such as shops, restaurants, high street service branches, cafes, etc, the duty is there.

It’s important to have a duty of care because it helps to prevent people from being needlessly injured in accidents which were entirely avoidable. Sometimes things happen and it’s hard to control them, but sometimes the suffering of an injury could have been avoided.

Where it could have been avoided, a claim can arise.
