Owners and occupiers of land crossed by public rights of way can be liable for injuries caused to path users by their negligence. For example, if a stile were to collapse under a walker, or if a path user were to be injured by an electric fence placed across a path, then the injured party may pursue a claim against the occupier of the land.
