The Law of Occupiers' Liability is the only resource of its kind to offer a balanced, up-to-date guide to one of the most common and continually evolving areas in personal injury practice. Authored by Alan Preyra (Ontario, plaintiff side) and Emily Unrau (British Columbia, defence side), this text provides an analysis of the legislation, case law, and procedural issues governing slips, trips, and falls across Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta. Drawing on both plaintiff and defence perspectives, it delivers a uniquely comprehensive analysis and practical guidance for all parties.

In addition to legal analysis, this resource delivers step-by-step guidance through each stage of the litigation process, including document disclosure, examinations for discovery, expert evidence, summary claims, and more. It also addresses key topics, such as duty of care, available defences, municipal notice and limitation provisions, the shift from common law to statutory duties, and the treatment of multiple occupiers and independent contractors.
