ABSTRACT

The plaintiff was walking towards the check-in counter at Grantley Adams International Airport when she slipped and fell on the floor, which was wet. She claimed that the defendant was liable for breach of duty under s 4 of the Occupiers’ Liability Act, Cap 208 (Laws of Barbados). The defendant alleged that there were adequate notices warning of the wet floor and that the accident was caused by the negligence of the plaintiff in failing to observe the notices and to take care for her own safety.
