Document Summary
Tort actions relevant to businesses can be conveniently divided between those that arise because a business occupies a property and those that arise because of actual business operations. Tort actions may arise in relation to property most commonly when the occupier of the property harms others. Describes the liability that occupiers have to anyone who enters onto their land or property. Liability is determined by classifying the visitor as a trespasser, licensee, invitee, or contractual entrant. Contractual entrant any person who has paid (contracted) for the right to enter the premises the duty of care is a warranty that the premises are safe as anyone could make them. Invitee any person who comes onto the property to provide the occupier with a benefit: ex. Store customers, delivery or service personnel: must warn invitee of any unusual danger which he knows or ought to know.
