Public Liability Claims Under WA Law
Public liability claims in Western Australia are governed by the Civil Liability Act 2002 (WA). This legislation defines the duty of care owed by occupiers and property owners to people who enter their premises, and sets out how contributory negligence and damages thresholds are assessed. Particular provisions apply to claims involving recreational activities and inherent risks — our lawyers are across all of these nuances.
