What obligation does a rink have in providing the skates to the skater's shoes?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Krysta v. Funland Enterprises Ltd., 1984 CanLII 269 (BC SC):

He referred to MacLeod v. Roe, 1947 CanLII 24 (SCC), [1947] S.C.R. 420 at 424, [1947] 3 D.L.R. 241, and quoted at p. 631: "The essential question here is, what did the appellant undertake in furnishing the skates and fastening them to the respondent's shoes? Certainly not that under no circumstances would they become loose or come off; that possibility is too intimately bound up with their use, in which the state or quality of the shoes, combined with the manner in which they are used, depending again upon the skater, might all play a part in loosening them. I do not think the obligation assumed, at its highest, goes beyond furnishing and attaching skates which can be used with reasonable safety if ordinary and usual skill and care are exercised by the skater; that the management will do for a reasonably careful patron what that patron would do, and in the rink here has the privilege of doing and in some cases does, in the way of equipping himself with skates."
