This can be illustrated by a recent case, where the claimant slipped and fell on wet petals that had fallen from the flowers of the florist on a station forecourt. He sued the florist, and also the L of the railway station. The argument was that L had failed to take sufficient steps to ensure that T (the florist) had properly cleared up the spilled flowers. In fact, it transpired that L had reprimanded T and the court took the view that this was sufficient; there was no need, on the facts, for L to have terminated T’s lease (or taken over the cleaning responsibilities himself). So, as it turned out, L was not liable – but the case does illustrate that L can potentially be liable, under Occupiers Liability Act 1957, to visitors to T’s premises.
