What are some cases in which a plaintiff’s claims in circumstances similar to this one have been dismissed?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Fochler v. Dancer-Poulin & Barnes, 2007 BCSC 294 (CanLII):
Other cases were cited to me by the defence in which the plaintiff’s claims in circumstances somewhat similar to this one were dismissed. In Templeman v. Richardson (1995), B.C.J. No. 1995, the plaintiff fell from the defendant’s home while using scaffolding. The plaintiff had offered the defendant his services as a friend with respect to certain construction renovation projects over the years. The plaintiff himself had worked in construction and had considerable experience in the use of scaffolding. The defendant had limited or no experience with the use of scaffolding. The plaintiff himself supervised the assembly of the scaffold in question.
