Anyone see the 29yo who's suing her landlord for not telling her she shouldn't dance on her roof when drunk?

Unless someone comes up with a spectacularly good reason why she should win this case...I'm hoping she loses!

I thought so to, with hair just a shade darker.

Surely this will get thrown out. Its so ridiculous

I think she looks like heather too.

Just checked my tenancy agreement. It doesnt tell me not balance my children on the open window ledge of the upper floor.

It must be ok to do that then.

my friend tried to sue- was a no go area- they would have had to hire a spanish lawyer and after a bit of digging- it was discovered that the apt belonged to some kind of timeshare chain and nobody really knew who was responsible.

Awful really.

I read the paper this morning with that woman and was infuriated by her, she was a mindless idiot and I hope the court sees this.

My old landlord didnt need to tell me walking across the roof of my old conservatory would be dangerous- common sense tells me this.

prat.

I love the idea that it will affect the sort of safety warnings that Landolords have to give tennants.

Actually i had better get on to it...my organisation has some offices rented out. Can anyone advise me what I should add to the following?

Please take car and do not:

Jump out of the window. please use the stairs at all times for leaving the building.
Suspend yourself from a hook in the ceiling by a cord around your neck. Use step ladders for changing lightbulbs.
Set fire to yourself with petrol parafin under any circumstances.
Set up an extension lead from the electric plugs so that you can immerse the kettle in the sink while you do the washing up.
Stab your colleagues through the heart with a sharp pair of scissors. This will lead to serious injury.

Can I sue Boots for putting Mini Eggs in tempting bowls by the tills on purpose so I buy them in a greedy rage and feel sick?

I think for optimum safety employees should not take cars, tubes, buses or trains blu. I think they should wrap themselves carefully in cotton wool and decline to leave their homes until their employers have done a full risk assessment.

But if we are on the subject I think everyone should be warned that laminating their arses is likely to lead to burns, and using the shredder for a speed manicure is a very bad idea

There was a woman (in America, obviously) who successfully sued a fast-food place because she was injured through slipping on a scoop of icecream on the floor. The fact that the icecream had been thrown on the floor by her own son, whom she had made no effort to control while he ran wild, would appear to have been irrelevant.

she is such a chancer...

I mean, I'm sorry she hurt herself and all that.

But some degree of personal responsibility must surely come into play here?

LOL she's obviously a woman of some energy and chutzpah.

Part of me wants her to win just because she's so amusing.

I have an image of her doing a chirpy cockney dance a la Mary Poppins in between chimneys.

Am wondering how many slates she damaged and whether the landlord could sue her for it.

We have recently been told to put up some signs telling fully grown adults not to scale bookcases spiderman style, but to use the mini-ladders supplied

Caligula LOL

chutzpah what a fabby-fabby-word-i-hope-to-be-descibed-so floridly-someday if i knew what it meant

We had a woman come to talk to our pre-school committe about risk assessments recently. Anyway, she was telling us about the nursery manager who was sued by a member of staff who had fallen off a windowsill onto the floor whilst hanging christmas decorations. Fair enough you might think, except that the nursery manager hadn't told her to climb up there and in fact had told her to get down Because she had gone to answer a ringing phone at this point and didn't stand there to make sure the member of staff did as she was told she lost the case

As a poor undergraduate many years ago I worked for TK Maxx (20% discount though) and some yoofs were running up our down escalator, one fell and sued. He won as well.

Wasn't there a guy in America who sued Nike for not warning him he could trip over his laces if he left them untied, or is that an urban myth?

Marina, it appears that we need a 'please do not use a self-piled stack of books as an impromptu kick stool' sign. Oh and the risk assessments I have had done since falling pregnant. Kick stools are out, ladders are anathema.

Silly tart!

There comes a time in ones life when it's no longer someone else's fault that you've fallen on your face!

snort at Marina.

I really, really hope this silly woman comes up in front of Cod!

If I was the magistrate I would ask her to demonstrate the dancing that led to her downfall. For the benefit of the jury, of course.

I remember a few years ago a woman tried to sue an hotel because she fell whilst dancing in stilletos on the dance floor. She didn't do her case any good when she admitted in court that she'd seen someone else fall over earlier but still indulged in drunken dancing herself. Silly moo!

well I would have done the job properly and sued the shoe company!

Why aren't these things just thrown out when they are brought in front of a judge?

I guess it still could be.

I do wonder if there was any more to this - otherwise how on earth did it get this far?!

I really want to know what Cod would say if she had to adjudicate over this one!

Well I for one am glad to see so many of you against this. Unfortunately, most of you probably voted for the law that made this possible by voting for labour. Tis the Human Rights bill I am ranting about. I apologise if I am wrong but doesn't everything come under this now.
