A champion lawn bowler could be awarded more than $1 million after successfully suing his own club over a barbecuing mishap.Kraig Dann successfully sued the Port Sorell Bowls Club over a barbecuing mishap in 2015Kraig Anthony Dann's hand was left severely burnt after the fat from a barbeque overflowed and caught fire at the Port Sorell Bowls Club in north-west Tasmania in November 2015.In papers filed with the court, the 47-year-old said he lost his job as a tradesman after the incident.
He sued the club for failing to provide safe barbecue equipment, safety gear and instructions in fire preparation. In the Supreme Court in Hobart on Friday, Justice Helen Wood found in favour of Mr Dann's claim for negligence.Justice Wood said she had assessed the damage in the sum of $1,074,880, but has given the parties time to check the figures.
Our legal system is worse than the Covid virus. Criminals don’t go to jail, and stupid insurance claims get awarded. Why cannot we get a political group fighting to fix this ? The legal fraternity make to much money out of this system !
