Anna works as a waiter in a restaurant at a country club. One afternoon, she was taking dirty dishes from the restaurant to the kitchen. As she was walking down the stairs, carrying the dishes on a tray, she slipped and fell which causes her to sustain serious back injury. The restaurant had employee policies which required its employees to transport dirty dishes via a cart and take the elevator instead of the stairs.

2. Whether the restaurant breached its occupier’s liability.
3. Whether Anna was contributorily negligent.
