Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The circumstances described suggest that Delmar Construction Inc. temporarily abandoned the building project, leaving an open basement portion. As such, they may be considered the occupier of the property, and could be held liable for injuries that result from property conditions they created or allowed to persist. The child's injuries resulted from this condition, and therefore, Delmar could be liable under occupiers' liability. Neither A nor B applies in this situation, as they relate to intentional acts rather than negligence, and there is no indication that Delmar was acting with malice or attempting to create a nuisance. Contractual liability is also not applicable in this scenario since there is no indication that Delmar breached any contractual obligations.
