Summary

The law of occupiers’ liability is a true mix of statutorily-stated principles and common law negligence. Both Acts impact, to some degree, as to whether the occupier owed a duty of care or breached that duty, and the defences available to him; while causation and remoteness are entirely governed by the common law.
