Farmer Giles opens part of his farm as a children's farm, where children can meet and hold
Question:
Farmer Giles opens part of his farm as a children's farm, where children can meet and hold small animals and learn about farm life. The children's farm is in a separate area of the farm, with 6 foot high fences all around. There are signs at regular intervals on the fence with warnings that the area beyond the fence is not open for visitors, that parents and children should keep within the fenced area and that parents should supervise children at all times.
Tom, who is ten, visits the farm with his mother. While his mother is standing in the queue to buy Tom an ice cream, Tom climbs over the fence and goes into the tractor shed. He climbs on a tractor, but falls off and breaks his leg. He also rips his clothes and damages his shoes.
Discuss whether Farmer Giles is liable under each of the Occupier's Liability Acts.
