1.1. Legal actions for Tort of Negligence:
According to the case study, the day when Gordon was going for shopping
was a raining and the weather was wet. Therefore, Gordon slipped on the tiled floor
in the foyer of the Westfield Shopping Centre and got injure. In this case, Gordon
can file a case against the shopping mall under the tort of negligence law. Duty of
Care is acknowledged as the liability of any individual or organization to act in a
modern way to protest hazardous situations. In Gordon’s case it was the obligation
of the authority of Westfield Shopping Centre to utilize Duty of Care not only for the
employees but also for the consumers. However, as the day was rainy, it was the
responsibility of the shopping mall to take care of the surroundings that can harm the
consumers. Regarding to that, Causation can be another charge that Gordon can
apply against the shopping mall. Also, Gordon got physically injured because of the
incident, it is also another major factor for Gordon to report file against Westfield
Shopping Centre (Stickley, 2016).

the shopping mall, Gordon also share his part of responsibility for it. Even after got
complained by Gordon, the shopping mall can file Negligence law against the victim.
The possible defenses that the shopping mall can file against Gordon contains
attacking the general connection between omission or act and injury or harm;
declaring that the shopping mall acted according to the obligatory standard of care;
the condition of Gordon and the equivalent duty of care; and examine the fact that
weather Gordon suffered any major loss or not in real.
