Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

The liability of occupiers hinges on the inveterate distinction... between activities creating risks of harm and the failure to take affirmative action to prevent harm.... the common law... was generally cool to the plea that anyone should be obliged to exert himself on behalf of another, at least in the absence of some corresponding benefit. This factor goes far to explain the erstwhile reluctance to expose occupiers to the discipline of a general duty of care....(However) the mere fact that the defendant happens to be an occupier does not mean his duties are necessarily and exclusively defined by his "occupancy" duties : they may well be augmented by a general duty of care as the result of some additional factor colouring his relationship to the plaintiff...

OBS

General occupancy. If the estate "pur autre vie" was merely granted "to A" without any mention of his heirs, A's heir had no special claim to the land, for it was not inheritable. The first person to enter the land after A's death was therefore entitled to it as "general occupant" for the rest of the life of the "cestui que vie"....(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 101).

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

The field of occupier's liability has been complicated further by an overridding distinction between an "activity duty" and an "occupancy duty", which derives from the misfeasance-nonfeasance dichotomy. If an entrant is injured by "current operations" being carried out by the occupier on the land, as opposed to a defect or danger in the condition of the land, the courts will impose the general duty to use reasonable care. This general duty is owed to all persons lawfully on the premises, but it is unclear whether it is also applicable to trespassers whose presence is known or probable.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

Une complication supplémentaire est venue s'ajouter au droit de la responsabilité des occupants, les tribunaux ayant fait une distinction entre le «devoir relié à l'activité» et le «devoir relié à l'occupation», qui découle de la dichotomie action/inaction fautives. Si une personne subit des blessures à cause des «activités» poursuivies par l'occupant sur les lieux, plutôt que d'une défectuosité ou d'un danger résultant de la condition des lieux, les tribunaux exigeront du défendeur qu'il fasse preuve d'une prudence raisonnable, le devoir général. L'occupant a un tel devoir envers toutes les personnes qui se trouvent légitimement sur les lieux, mais il n'est pas certain qu'il ait la même obligation envers les trespassers dont la présence est connue ou probable.
