Bourne Leisure v Shakespeare [2012] QBD

27/09/2024

Anthony acted for the successful Respondent who had been involved in a slipping accident at the Defendant’s holiday resort. Butterfield J. upheld the trial judge’s imposition of liability on the basis that the Defendant’s inspection regime was insufficient and that it could have taken some minor steps to change its policies without ruining the atmosphere in its nightclub venue. He rejected the Appellant’s case that the trial judge had imposed too high a duty on the Defendant that amounted a counsel of perfection and that, in any event, improvements in the Defendant’s system would have made no real difference in practice.
