Josey owned a stationary store. The store had a tiled floor. One day while Josey was mopping the floor when she knocked the bucket over and spilled water everywhere. Before she could mop up the water, a customer came into the store so she went behind the counter to serve her. George then walked into the store and slipped on the wet floor. George was wearing a pair of cheap thongs at the time and if he had been wearing high quality running shoes it is unlikely he would have slipped. Which of the following is most correct: A) George has a battery claim against Josey; B) George has a good negligence claim against Josey even if he suffered no injuries or other damage; C) If George sued Josey for negligence, his claim would be defeated by the defence of volenti non fit injuria he voluntarily assumed the risk of slipping by wearing cheap thongs; D) Josey could sue George for trespassing as he was not invited into the store; E) None of the above are correct
