In what circumstances will a train company be held liable for failing to provide adequate facilities for alighting at Lefroy station?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hay v. C.P.R. Co, 1918 CanLII 125 (SK CA):
In Edgar v. Northern Ry. Co., 11 O.A.R. 452, at p. 455, Patterson, J.A. said: The train having slowed, but not stopped, at Lefroy station, it may properly be held that the only facility afforded to the passengers for alighting was the slackening of speed to the extent to which that was done. The duty of the company to the passenger was to afford reasonable facilities for alighting with safety, and by reason of neglect of that duty the accident to the female plaintiff happened, unless she herself contributed to it by negligence on her part.
