Business Law
Jerry was having lots of landscaping done in his backyard. He was replacing trees and bushes having a new lawn installed, and doing numerous plantings. As usual, the workers left all of their equipment in the yard at the end of their workday. One night, Jerry's neighbor's son, Tom, a boy of 10. decided to investigate all of the "cool" tools left in the yard While examining the hedge trimmer he received a serious cut to his hand His neighbor immediately sued Jerry for the injury to Tom. In his defense, Jerry said that some Tom was a trespasser he had no liability. Who is correct in this case? Explain your answer in detail at least 5 sentences.
In this case, Jerry's neighbour is correct. Even if jerry is unaware of the Tom's entry in his backyard then he is still liable. Under the rule of attractive nuisance , the owner of the property will br liable for the damage caused to the young children even if the the children transpassed on the property. Jerry should have avoided this hazardous condition. Now, he has to pay the damages.
