Just read this:
uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20090923/tuk-boy-four-dies-in-somerfield-supermar-45dbed5.html
very very sad, and very tragic. However, sueing them for neglience?? How on earth is it the supermarket's fault that the boy slipped? My son regularly swings on things like this (despite me telling him not to half the time) but the chances of something happening are so minor - and surely its parental responsibility and not the fault of the supermarket?
Its the third "compensation" claim this week thats rattled me. The other being that the mother of the twins involved in the ecoli is going to sue Godstone Farm - and the third being a friend of mine going to court for compensation for her daughter. Her 2 year old apparently suffered from nightmares for weeks after a small accident in the car (afaik it was a rear ender that wrote the older car off) and they are demanding compensation. As you can guess I dont agree with this either.
I mean do these people not wonder where this money they sue for comes from? I understand sueing if death/serious accident occured and it was blatantly the fault of someone else - but just to sue for sueing's sake?
Or AIB really U??
