A personal injury action taken by a woman injured in a fall while partaking in an Ann Summers party has had her appeal dismissed.
In his judgment Mr Justice Max Barrett said a woman like the plaintiff who:
- Freely elects to drink alcohol
- Engage in a party game and
- Jump for a spot prize
Cannot expect every part of a pub will be made injury proof in the event of a fall.
“Bad things can happen to good people and still no compensation event may arise” he said. Following the ruling the judge said he was making no order in respect of the costs of the appeal.
