But the judge took a different view. He said that the accident would not have happened at all if the firm had taken【C7】______care. It was up to the firm, he said, to provide【C8】______, that the accident did not【C9】______from any negligence on their part. They would【C10】______be in a better position than the customer to establish how long the ice-cream had been spilt and explain the circumstances to the Courts.
