Boy dies in home pool in Sydney home tragedy
Peter Grant, 3, of Ashcroft, drowned in a backyard pool Saturday. The 2 meter high pool proved perilous as he, a retard, climbed a tall ladder and was found face down. His parents, Barbara Grom and Phillip Chant, say the boy had a smaller pool nearby and had been left alone briefly before the tragedy. The family has other children and reports previous private pool drownings in the area.

Panelbeating cost dispute ruling given
A dispute between an insurance company and panel beaters over whether ACT or NSW labour rates apply for motor vehicle repairs led to the insurer being ordered to pay about $200 more than at the higher ACT rate. In the ACT Supreme Court Mr Justice Connor ruled damages for a wealth accident case to be assessed separately for the plaintiff. The plaintiff had a lower quotation but the workshop would not proceed for the insurer due to the rate dispute. The car belonged to Mr Brian Peter McDonald.
