Question

Arun owns and runs a large garden centre with extensive greenhouses that are open to his customers. Biton, a glazier, came to replace some cracked panes of glass in the roof of one of the greenhouses. A wooden support forming part of the greenhouse against which Biton leant his ladder, was rotten and gave way causing the ladder to slip. Biton fell off the ladder and broke his leg. The ladder itself was also damaged beyond repair. The incident also left a considerable amount of broken glass on the floor and amongst the plants. Arun therefore, roped off the area and hung large signs on the rope saying: ‘ KEEP OUT . BROKEN GLASS!’ Chloe, a twelve-year-old girl, wandered away from her parents while they were busy looking at some rose bushes outside the greenhouse. Chloe entered the greenhouse and went under a rope to get a closer look at, what she thought was a dropped mobile phone. She then cut herself badly on some broken glass. At the entrance to the garden centre there is a prominent sign which states: ‘All visitors enter at their own risk. The proprietors accept no liability for any injury or damage howsoever caused.’
