The court accepted the plaintiff's evidence and found the primary cause of the fall was pork residues deposited by the 3rd defendant's staff, with the wet floor a contributing factor; the 3rd defendant was therefore liable and vicariously responsible for its worker's acts. The 2nd defendant (cleaning contractor) and 1st defendant (property manager/occupier) had implemented reasonable cleaning and supervisory systems and were not in breach. The plaintiff was 15% contributorily negligent. Damages were assessed and apportioned accordingly.
