You are an intern in the corporate office of MicRonalds Pty Ltd which runs fast food outlets in different cities around Australia. You have received instructions from Kylie Eagle, the company's corporate counsel to write a Memorandum of Advice in relation to potential claim by Lizzy Grant, a customer who was recently injured in their MicRonalds'

24-hour city restaurant.

In the early hours of the morning on 4th January 2022, Lizzy Grant was on her way home from a long and tiring night shift. She decided to stop at the MicRonalds' 24-hour outlet at

5:30 a.m. to purchase some breakfast.

While at the restaurant she ordered her food and as she was waiting, she decided to use the toilets at the far end of the outlet. They were usually very clean. As she approached the toilets, she saw a sign that had been placed at the entrance and which read "Caution: Wet Floor. CIcaning in progress".

She did not wish to wait for the cleaning to be completed and she went into the toilets.

When she was leaving the toilets, she slipped on the wet floor and fell. She suffered a broken wrist and a bruised head. She was not able to return to work for eight weeks.

Kylie has informed you that the cleaning of the restaurant toilets on that morning was being done by one of the employees, Lance, who had stepped away to get a dry mop to complete the cleaning. He was also in charge of spot cleaning throughout the day. Lizzy has now threatened to commence proceedings against both MicRonalds Pty Ltd and Lance.

Kylie would like you to write a memorandum of advice on whether there are grounds to hold MicRonalds Pty Ltd liable.
