This lecture addresses the issue of when a landowner may be held liable for a criminal assault on a person lawfully visiting or occupying the landowner’s premises. It addresses such questions as the duty-foreseeability-notice requirement; duty arising from control of the premises; the duty third-parties may have to visitors to premises; the different duties that attach to indoor and outdoor premises; when a relationship between assailant and victim cuts off liability; the different duties that attach to governmental entities based on whether they are acting in a governmental or proprietary capacity; and the duties of commercial landowner, operators of automatic teller machines and schools.
