mmmmmm...don't think so on that one. It's surprising (not) how many seemingly trivial injuries can have a 9 month period to full recovery...oh..look at that....that's over £1000 value, and guess what....lawyers are entitled to their costs on an hourly rate (total £5,000) instead of £72 + vat. No motivation to coach there then is there???

As Miketually said.
I cleared a substantial bit of pavement last year, seemed like a good idea at the time. Unfortunately I had no grit and it froze overnight making it 10 times worse than the bits with snow on.
I won't bother this year unless I have grit as well.

Despite above posts a vast majority of these claims do succeed.
There's a big difference between a court deciding an individual or company was at fault and a personal injury claim being settled because some of the required documentation was not available from the defence or that the claim was low enough in value to not be worth defending.
I'd like to read the case notes of a successful case, if you know of one

Recalling case law at this time of night after a nightmare investigation today in a Liverpool nightclub is impossible. I will review the laptop relating to clearing ice and post soon as.

In case you are still interested, Fildes v International Computers, went to the court of appeal and the claimant failed despite slipping on a car park where reasonable efforts to clear snow and ice had been made.
Sheddon v Sheffield City Council (2000), inedaequate gritting regime so the claimant won.
Hope that is of interest.Posted 1 year ago # -
