6. Liability For Occupiers and Builders
View through CrossRef
Occupier’s liability is, essentially, part of the law of negligence in statutory form, which has materialised in the shape of successive legislative accretions. This means that prime importance must be attached to the wording of the statutes, assisted wherever necessary by reference to the preparatory publications of the Law Commission. This chapter discusses the Occupiers’ Liability Acts 1957 and 1984, and liability of non-occupiers: vendors, landlords, and builders.
