The plaintiff slipped and fell on a patch of ice in Nathan Phillips Square, suffering a fractured leg.
He sued the City of Toronto for damages under the Occupiers' Liability Act.
The court found that the City breached its duty of care by failing to identify and remove the unsafe ice patch in a high-traffic area.
However, the court also found the plaintiff 50% contributorily negligent for failing to keep a proper lookout.
General damages were assessed at $45,000, subject to the 50% reduction.
