Village Green Events Saved!

The Court of Appeal decision in Cole v Davis-Gilbert (April 07) relating to liability in the case of a person who suffered serious leg fractures from a hole left by a maypole means that traditional May Day celebrations can go ahead with less worry for the organisers.

This ruling, together with the enactment in April 2007 of Section 1 of the Compensation Act 2006, will encourage the courts to consider the deterrent factor of too readily finding liability against the organisers of community events such as fetes or school trips.
