- Case number
- HCPI850/2016
On the evidence the court found the granolithic floor was a recognised, specified and not objectively dangerous finish, there was no adequate basis to conclude MTR knew or ought to have known of a specific risk to the plaintiff that required special assessment or accommodation, and causation and post-repair complaint evidence did not establish MTR's breach; accordingly the plaintiff's claim fails on liability and is dismissed, although the court assessed quantum and applied a 25% discount to general damages for the pre-existing condition.
