Case Details
Ms Hill suffered a serious left ankle injury after slipping on the floor near a refrigerated cabinet at a Coles supermarket in Western Sydney. The NSW District Court ruled that Coles breached its duty of care.
Additional Notes
Coles argued Ms Hill's negligence (wearing thongs, not avoiding obvious hazard), but the judge found a breach of duty of care. The court considered the injury's impact on her mobility and ability to perform domestic, recreational, and social activities, and her husband's disability.
