Public & Occupiers Liability?
Public liability relates to injuries caused in spaces that are open to the public. This could include council-maintained areas, commercial venues or even roads and pathways. Those in control of these areas, such as local authorities or private businesses have a duty to maintain them in a reasonably safe condition.
Occupiers’ liability applies to injuries that occur on privately owned premises. The “occupier” is typically the person responsible for the maintenance and safety of the property, which could be a landlord, business owner or managing agent.
Public and occupiers’ liability laws are in place to ensure people can hold others accountable when they’re hurt because of negligence or dangerous conditions.
