How have courts dealt with unevenness of the surface of a paved surface of what is effect a walkway?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wilfong v. Stanger, 2008 BCSC 1247 (CanLII):
Martinig v. Powell River (District), 2002 BCSC 24, involved a baseball field, where some unevenness of ground is always to be expected. Again, that is very different from a paved surface of what is in effect a walkway. The court also found in that case that the municipal defendant had a reasonable system of inspection and had not discovered any unusual danger.
