Studying Business law. Thanks for the help so far I am going to read up a bit more on for now, but it looks like you have pointed me in the right direction. :)

I agree with @Rod - it's a question of bailment.
About which you can read some useful stuff here.

Thanks Tim, would you be able to point me to some legislation or case law etc, that outlines this?

Ooo “Homework Question – Who is Liable for Damages from Cloakroom?” 😅🧥 classic bailment spaghetti – duty of care vibes, exclusion clauses, possesion/control all mashed up lol ⚖️🤓 love these tort + contract crossover brain teasers tbh. If ur into unpackin these fact-pattern tangles & lowkey thinkin bout research/teachin or academia paths later, defs have a squiz at AcademicJobs.com — heaps of opps for law nerds, liability geeks, and all-round academic hustlers 😎📚 friendly plug but legit legit!
