Damages Awarded in Ridgepole Injury Case at Supreme Court
In a decision read by Mr Justice Burnside, the Supreme Court upheld liability of the Railway Commissioner for a ridgepole defect that caused injuries to Charles Stafford. Stafford, who returned to work the next day, argued the pole was defective though tests showed no persistent fault. The judge noted supplier duty to provide a reasonably safe article, but acknowledged complex evidence on whether the defect could have been discovered prior to sale.
