KATHLEEN FOX v MICHAEL SHERRATT & ORS CC (Manchester) (Judge Holman) 26/1/2005

Description

The Claimant succeeded in her action for damages against her employer when she slipped owing to water which had entered the premises through a leak in the roof. It was argued for the Defendant that the roof did not form part of the premises. That argument was not accepted. The evidence from a surveyor that the roof was no longer in good repair was accepted. It was held that the Defendant had breached both regulations 5 (1) and 12 (3) of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. It had failed to keep the floor free from substances which would cause a person to slip.
