What is the duty of the occupier to the invitee?

Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from Long v. Owners of Condominium Plan No 74R40206, 1979 CanLII 2278 (SK QB):

For definition of the duty of the occupier to the invitee, one inevitably looks to Indermaur v. Dames (1866), L.R. 1 C.P. 274, where Willes, J., at page 288 said: With respect to such visitor at least we consider it settled law that he, using reasonable care on his part for his own safety, is entitled to expect that the occupier shall on his part use reasonable care to prevent damage from an unusual danger which he knows or ought to know.
