A statement of claim alleges the cafe was negligent in failing to remove the food scrap during the lunchtime rush, according to the Herald Sun.
Court documents also claim the venue was negligent because it allowed the chip to stay on the floor, failed to warn patrons of the potential hazard and did not put up a slip warning sign.
It was also claimed that the cafe did not have an adequate system for managing foot traffic, along with 23 additional alleged points of negligence and breaches of duty. At all material times the defendant owed the worker, a patron of the cafe, a duty of care, the statement of claim said.
