MGM390H5 Lecture Notes - Paintball Marker, Paintball, Contributory Negligence
Document Summary
Considering the legal environment surrounding businesses, owners have to ensure that they minimize the legal risks that are hovering their businesses. Similarly, paintball businesses are prone to a variation of laws including torts that they need to reflect upon when starting up. The torts of occupier"s liability create a standard of care for lawful users which ensures safety of premises. Wei and anayat will rent the abandoned warehouse, which makes them the occupier and thus liable for the safety of any person injured within the property e. g. slip and fall, as well as, the physical condition of the warehouse. If a paintball injury is caused by a defective or dangerous product (a defective paintball gun or mask), a customer might bring forth a product liability claim against wei and anayat. Negligent design may apply resulting in the breach of the standard of care.
