Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A state statute requires that all retail stores mop up liquid spills within 15 minutes of discovery to ensure customer safety. A shopper in a supermarket slips on spilled juice that had been on the floor for 20 minutes. The supermarket manager argues that the spill occurred in an aisle that customers rarely visit, and customary practice in that area allows spills to be cleaned within 30 minutes. Which standard should the court apply when determining whether the store breached its duty of care?

  • The customary standard in the industry, which allows spills to be cleaned within 30 minutes in less-visited areas

  • The standard chosen by the store manager, provided it is widely accepted within the company's operations

  • The standard set by the statute, which requires spills to be cleaned within 15 minutes of discovery

  • A reasonable standard of care determined by the jury based on the circumstances of the incident
