Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 3.9-4
Status of Parties - Invitee
An invitee is one who either expressly or impliedly has been invited to go on the premises of the
defendant. An invitee goes upon the premises at the express or implied invitation of the
possessor for the possessor’s benefit or for the mutual benefit of both. One who goes upon land
in the possession of another as a business visitor is an invitee.
If you find that the plaintiff was an invitee, then the defendant owed the plaintiff the following
duties:
1. the duty to use reasonable care to inspect and maintain the premises and to make
the premises reasonably safe;
2. the duty to warn or guard the visitor from being injured by reason of any defects
that the invitee could not reasonably be expected to discover;
3. the duty to reasonably conduct activities on the premises in such a way so as not
to injure the visitor.
