A trades assistant employed by a roofing subcontractor, Rowville Way Pty Ltd (Rowville Way), fell 2.8 metres from the roof of a house under construction on 30 July 2009. He fractured his left tibia and right ankle. He settled his claim against his employer and the roofing company, Stoddart (Vic) Pty Ltd (Stoddart), at a mediation. However, a claim by the Victorian WorkCover Authority against Stoddart remained unresolved. The task for the Victorian Supreme Court was to determine whether Stoddart owed a duty of care to the trades assistant, whether the duty had been breached, and what percentage of responsibility the company should bear.
