No duty of care owed by occupier to contractor’s employee
William Norris QC and Judith Ayling acted for the National Trust in Yates v National Trust, where it was held that no duty of care was owed by the National Trust to one of its independent contractors. This is a significant case for occupiers regarding their duties to employees of contractors who come onto their land.
