The respondent denied the presence of debris and argued it met its statutory obligations through a reasonable maintenance system. The store manager, Ruckman, provided evidence of the store’s cleaning policies, including regular inspections, employee training, and detailed sweep logs showing the area was inspected and swept multiple times before the incident. The case proceeded to summary trial where the respondent sought dismissal of the claim. The appellant challenged the reliability of the store’s evidence, particularly questioning the credibility of sweep logs due to the destruction of video evidence and the failure to call certain store employees as witnesses. She argued the court should draw an adverse inference from the missing video evidence that could have verified the maintenance system’s implementation. The summary trial judge dismissed the appellant’s claim, finding that the respondent established a reasonable maintenance system that was properly implemented on the day of the incident.

The judge concluded that the absence of video evidence, which was routinely overwritten after 30 days, did not undermine the reliability of the maintenance records. The appellant appealed the decision, arguing the judge erred in the weight given to the sweep logs, the failure to draw an adverse inference from the destroyed video evidence, and the assessment of evidence credibility....
