Occupiers Liability

MapForJ · 2011-07-14 23:12:04

Does a notice of Occupiers Liability Act absolve one from duty of care. I saw one recently... like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/joecashin/72042375/ What is the point if they do not absolve duty of care? Do they reduce it?

To an extent. Take a look at the rest of Section 5, particularly this:

(5) Where injury or damage is caused to a visitor or property of a visitor by a danger of which the visitor had been warned by the occupier or another person, the warning is not, without more, to be treated as absolving the occupier from liability unless, in all the circumstances, it was enough to enable the visitor, by having regard to the warning, to avoid the injury or damage so caused.
