Notman v Wesfarmers Limited & Floyd Industries Pty Ltd [2016] VSC 457
The Supreme Court of Victoria has dismissed a claim for contribution made by the occupier of a supermarket against an electrical contractor that installed metal shelving at the supermarket. The plaintiff, a supermarket employee, suffered electrical shock two months after the installation when she touched the shelving, which had been installed with bolts that contacted electrical wiring.
