What is the test for using the term “invitee” in relation to the status of a girl pupil attending a public school?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ellis v. Moose Jaw Public School District, 1946 CanLII 201 (SK CA):
In Boivin v. Glenavon S.D. 1937 CanLII 197 (SK CA), [1937] 2 W.W.R. 170, cited for the defendants, I expressed the doubt whether the term “invitee” accurately described the status of a girl pupil attending a public school in this province, as she did not do so by choice but under statutory compulsion. I did not mean to suggest however that such a circumstance lessened the extent of the duty of the school authorities to care for her safety.
