The plaintiff was injured after falling or jumping from the roof of a commercial building owned and occupied by the defendants.
The plaintiff and the individual defendant had gone to the roof to smoke, but the door locked behind them, leaving them stranded.
The defendants brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the action, arguing the plaintiff was solely responsible for her injuries by venturing away from the door.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that a trier of fact could conclude the defendants breached their duty of care under the Occupiers' Liability Act and that such breach was a proximate cause of the injuries, thus presenting a genuine issue requiring a trial.
