In early 2015, Mariah with her three children attended your office in Sydney to obtain investment advice. It has been raining heavily all day and the floor of the foyer (in your office) is very wet. Mariah's two-year-old daughter decides to run away and investigate the shops nearby. Mariah attempts to chase her and falls on the tiles suffering a fractured leg. Can Mariah take an action in negligence against you in relation to this incident?

In your answer, you should:

• Outline and apply the tests to establish negligence.
• Outline whether you have a defence against the action.
• Include a case to support your answer.
