The claimant was assaulted whilst at work at a residential care home. She answered the door to visitors who were drunk. She appealed a refusal of her claim against her employers.
Held: The judge had sufficient evidence before him to establish that the absence of a chain on the door was not a breach of statutory duty. The appeal failed.
