There is a football field on the other side of Jules’ business premises and she knows that many local children walk through her car park as a short cut to the field. There used to be a solid wooden fence all around the premises but there has been recent storm damage to the fence, so there is nothing to stop the children entering the premises. There is one sign stating that the land is private, but no one has seen the sign for a while.   (Occupier’s Liability, Defences, Remedies, Advantages & Disadvantages, Reform/changes to this area of law)
