Belinda, Ahmed and Rangika went shopping one afternoon to their favourite local Westfields in Parramatta. The three were excited because they heard that Uniqlo were having a sale and that they could possibly get some of their favourite garments at a discount.

Before entering the Uniqlo store, Ahmed decided to use the bathroom so he left Belinda and Rangika to head to Uniqlo first and he would meet them later. Whilst Ahmed was walking to the bathrooms, he witnessed a robbery taking place at the Pretzel stand so he ran to help save the store owner whose head was being placed in a headlock by the thieves. As Ahmed jumped over the counter to help rescue the owner, he injured his leg, was punched by the thieves and a few of his ribs were broken.

Belinda and Rangika became tired after waiting for so long in Uniqlo for Ahmed so they decided to sit on the in-store couch next to the fitting rooms and rest. Rangika decided to drink an in-store complimentary mushroom shake. Uniqlo offered a complimentary wellness stand in-store that day whereby customers could choose between a complimentary mushroom elixir for health benefits or a mushroom energy shake that acted as a meal replacement, so customers weren't hungry waiting in line to be served or try on clothes. Rangika felt dizzy after drinking the mushroom shake and began to convulse. That's when Belinda and Rangika went to sit on the couch.

The couch cushions, unbeknown to Belinda and Rangika, were stuffed with a prickly recycled plastic that felt quite spikey. Rangika's leg, after sitting on the couch broke out in hives and Belinda jolted and screamed once she was pricked sitting on the couch. Belinda fell to the ground leaving her with a twisted back and a broken shoulder from the fall. Rangika eventually fainted because the mushroom drink had made her sick.

Advise Ahmed, Rangika and Belinda as to whether Westfields or Uniqlo are liable for their injuries and why.
