Even though Mr. G.J. Coles didn’t spill the soft drink, he is still liable because there is a duty of care owed to the customers who shop at Coles. If it had been proven that one of the employees was negligent, Mrs Jenkins could still sue G.J. Coles under vicarious liability, where the employer is responsible for the actions of their staff.

Mr Kline could sue for damages and get monetary compensation he could also file an injunction against Ampol, forcing them to change their working hours and to slow production. This will give Mr Kline right to enjoy his land.
