Document Summary

Business activity whether it involves generating electricity, cutting hair, filing tax returns, or selling automobiles involves interactions that may ultimately have a negative impact on others and their property. In each of these examples, the business may have interfered with a legitimate interest of another and could, as a result, be subject to a tort action. The laws that make a business liable for its tortious conduct also operate to protect that same business when it is the victim of a tort. Tort actions relevant to businesses can be divided into two categories: those that arise because a business occupies a property, actual business operations. Occupier someone who has some degree of control over land or buildings on that land. An enterprise conducting business on property is an occupier, whether it is the owner, a tenant, or a temporary provider of a service.
