What is the liability of the owner or person in charge of a bridge or culvert?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from John Goodison Thresher Co. v. Township of McNab, 1909 CanLII 12 (ON CA):
In the case of Welch v. Town of Geneva, 110 Wis. 388, the liability for all damages was by the statute law placed directly upon the owner or person in charge in case of failure to span any bridge or culvert, before crossing the same, with planks of a specified thickness, width, and length—a very different provision from that in question here.
