Under section 3 of the Occupier's Liability Act,
the default standard of care of an occupier is "to take such
care as in all the circumstances is reasonable to see that persons
entering the premises is reasonably safe while on the
premises". This standard applies in most situations but there
are some premises in which a much lower standard of care applies
under section 4.
Section 4 (1) states that for "risks willingly assumed by
the person who enters the premises" the occupier owes a duty
to the person to "not create a danger with deliberate intent
of doing harm or damage to the person or his or her property and to
not act with reckless disregard of the presence of the person or
his or her property."
