Question

Barbara was a regular shopper at Egeeay Supermarket, which was part of a large nationwide
supermarket chain. She was there at least once a week and sometimes more often if the specials were
really good.
When Barbara was there this week, she slipped on some grapes in the pet-food section in aisle 3,
slipping and falling, and breaking her ankle. The store manager was not sure how the grapes got there
or how long they had been there, but store policy was to do checks every 15 minutes of the floor in
the fruit section. The store manager indicated that there were a number of spillages every week in the
green grocery section of the store.
The store owner wishes to know:
a) Whether Egeeay Supermarket owes a duty of care to Barbara? 
b) If they do, has it breached that duty of care?
c) Whether your answer would be different if Barbara had slipped on some grapes in the fruit section
of the store.
