A duty of care is imposed on occupiers of private and public premises to ensure the safety of persons attending those premises, and public liability law has recently undergone significant changes in most jurisdictions. This has impacted all aspects of claims litigation, from determining quantum to assessing liability. Our Public Liability team has the experience and resources to ensure that every claim is accurately resourced and that a resolution strategy is developed promptly.
Colin Biggers & Paisley advises on the following public liability issues:
- Occupiers' liability (shops, schools/education, pubs and clubs)
- Local government
- Construction risk (labour hire and contractual issues)
- Sport and recreation (skiing, horseriding, amusement parks and the racing industry
- Entertainment venues (Colin Biggers & Paisley has acted for many sporting bodies, including Australian Rugby Union (ARU) Limited and soccer, cricket and golf bodies)
