Working Paper 3 (1969) - Occupier's Liability
Introduction
By letter dated 9th June, 1967, the Honourable K.M. McCaw, M.L.A., Attorney General, made a reference to this Commission in the following terms:
To review the law relating to the rights and liabilities of occupiers of land and incidental matters.
The enclosed working paper expresses the proposals which the Commission presently has under consideration for recommendation in its report, together with a review of the existing law in this State and other explanatory matter. It is circulated to persons and bodies known to be interested for their consideration. Comment is invited. It is requested that this should be forwarded to the Executive Member, Law Reform Commission, Park House, 187 Macquarie Street, Sydney, 2000, so as to be received by 30th April, 1969.
Recipients of the working paper will appreciate that the members of the Commission are as yet uncommitted to any of these proposals and it would be incorrect to describe them as the views of the Commission. Nor may any implications be drawn as to what may be Government policy in any matters.
It has not been thought appropriate to include proposals at this stage relating to the position of the Crown or public authorities under the legislation proposed in the paper. The proposals in it are nevertheless framed so as to be as far as possible suitable for the purpose should it be ultimately determined that the Crown and such authorities should be bound. Highway authorities, however, have not been treated as within the scope of the reference.
J. K. MANNING,
