Court finds in favour of school over playground accident
ABC News Online: The High Court has dismissed an attempt by a schoolgirl to sue a Catholic primary school in Canberra after she was injured on a flying fox.
Thank goodness we have the ACC in NZ...
The family of the schoolgirl argued St Anthony's had been negligent in its duty of care.
But the High Court has found in favour of the school, saying it had a well known hands-off rule, which barred children from touching each other during playtime.
