- DCPI44/2022
Plaintiff's factual account was inconsistent with contemporaneous medical and handwritten statements and implausible in light of objective evidence (photographs and defendant witness evidence showing metal stackable chairs); the more probable explanation is that the plaintiff sat on a missing/fallen chair rather than a defective/collapsed chair caused by defendant; res ipsa loquitur does not apply; on balance of probabilities defendant not liable and claim is dismissed.
