In 1997, a five year old boy strayed away from his mother during a school sports day, and went into a playground. There he played "Superman" on the swings and, predictably, fell off - unfortunately breaking his arm.
Earlier this year the parents took the school to court and were awarded £4000 damages. The school appealed against this and a high court judge has overturned the verdict and ordered the child's parents to pay the school's court costs.
To my mind, this is a good thing. We seem to be living in an increasingly litigious society and we're all paying the costs of this in ever-increasing insurance premiums. It's nice to see the application of a bit of good old-fashioned common sense...
