The BC Supreme Court Reinforces A Plaintiff's Duty To Exercise A Modicum Of Awareness For Their Own Safety In Petrunia v. Pensionfund Realty Limited, 2025 BCSC 2345

The recent decision of Petrunia v. Pensionfund Realty Limited, 2025 BCSC 2345 is a welcomed reminder that while occupiers are required to act reasonably in all of the circumstances, entrants must exercise a corresponding "modicum of awareness" for their own safety. The Occupiers' Liability Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 337 (the "OLA") imposes a duty of reasonable care, not a guarantee of safety.
