Description
Reparation - Liability:- On 28 The pursuer was injured when she was thrown from a horse during a riding lesson at the defenders' premises on 2 April 2005. Damages were agreed in the sum of £30,000 and the only issued to be determined was liability. The central arguement in the pursuer's case was that she should not have been given the horse in question for the lesson she was attending on the day of the accident because it was a new class, a new instructor and a new horse which had been used by more experienced riders in the past. Here the court considered, in the particular circumstances of the busy Saturday morning, whether the decision to place the pursuer on the particular horse was negligent.
