Wet Entrance, Open Door: Why the Ruling Against a Supermarket Is More Than a Damages Case

Answer

When should a store in Mallorca close its entrance because of rain?

A store should consider closing or controlling access when heavy rain causes water to enter and the floor becomes unsafe. The court in Palma noted that the door could have been kept closed during the rain, especially since a nearby shop did exactly that for safety reasons. If staff cannot keep the entrance safe, closing it may be the wiser option.
