Tom is a 65-year-old war veteran who regularly puts on his roller blades to get

around. He was roller blading along the footpath past the ABC supermarket when he
remembered he was out of milk. There was a sign at the entrance
stating “Customers must wear appropriate footwear when entering the store”. 
Without taking off his roller blades, he skated into the supermarket.  However, before
he could reach the milk aisle, he slipped on a melted ice cream that a customer had
dropped on the floor half an hour earlier. Tom had an old combat injury from being
shot in Vietnam, and the fall shattered his leg in seven places.   Tom is now unable
to ever return to his regular job as a dog walker. 
Required: Advise Tom of his legal rights by reference to relevant legal principles
and cases.
