Author: {"author": "In this trip and fall case, the underlying issue is whether two cases of drinks left in the beverage aisle of a grocery store by a distributor created an unreasonable risk of harm, leading to a finding of liability as found by the trial court here, or whether it was an open and obvious condition, which would lead to an opposite result. I would grant and docket the defendant's application in this matter to explore whether the trial court erred in delivering what the court of appeal deemed to be a \"compressed\" jury instruction regarding the factors used to determine whether a condition is open and obvious.
