Invitee

Invitee

An invitee is that person who is invited to get in or remain on the premises for a commercial benefit to the possessor of premises, or for a purpose directly or indirectly connected with business dealings with the possessor. An invitation may be either express or implied. A customer in a department store is an invitee, since the department store actively invites the public to enter the premises and to buy merchandise when on the premises. A premises owner has the highest duty of care to the invitee.

Often, the possessor has a duty to use ordinary care to notify or otherwise protect an invitee from risks of harm resulting from a condition on the possessor’s premises when the risk of harm is unreasonable, and a possessor knows or in the exercise of ordinary care ought to know of the condition, and ought to understand that it involves an unreasonable risk of harm to an invitee.

The possessor may have a duty to periodically check the premises for the introduction of hazards to invitees. For instance, a grocery store may be required to periodically check the floors for the presence of spilled or broken merchandise, and to ensure that the products are not likely to fall from its shelves.
