Check this article out on the BBC news website. Could this be the resurrection of common sense? The back-lash against the Americanized Claims Culture?
I do hope so.

About time, that idiot who tried to claim his gambled 2 million from the bookies also lost his case. Too right. I suspect that this is only a small diversion from the normal stupid claims mentality and normal service will resume shortly.
ReplyDeleteB*E*G ~ hope my tuppence worth was useful. Enjoy riding today honey.
ReplyDeleteW*E*B ~ Did he lose? Brilliant. See it's a turing of the tide. One of the joys of being a fan of policemen, and not being one myself (or should that be police person), is that I haven't lost all my optimism. I remain hopeful.
My gran had a pretty similar accident to this one - she slipped on a grape in Asda a few years ago. They paid her some compensation - I think they gave her £1000 which seems a sensible sum of money. Sometimes companies are at fault but its the ridiculous amounts that people want that make it hard to take seriously.
ReplyDeleteThere was another case recently where a man slipped on a petal from a flower seller in a station. I remember reading that it was bankrupting the flower seller but I don't think I ever heard what happened.
People really need to realise that accidents do happen - that's life.
sanddancer ~ what amazed me was that a grown man stood up in court and said he suffered depression and was unable to work, because he slipped on a grape.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me the balls that some people have, to try on this crap.
