Ah, now that's a complex piece of civil law. Just being the supplier of a particular item or service pertinent to the event, doesn't necessarily absolve you of liability, or give boundaries..or ljmits.coukas to where your liabilities may cease. For that you'd need a proper contract, drawn up by solicitors....
...and the £50 to cover your arse insurance wise would probably cost a tenth of that anyway.
Www
"SORRY, I'm just the supplier" won't really cut much ice in court - the limit of the liability need.to be accounted for prior to the event, and participants given reasonable time to understand and agree to those limitations.
Mr Cheese can bitch all he wants, but better to resolve this issue in advance for a piddling sum than resolve it after someone has been seriously injured and lose everything you own over it.
It's such. a simple, sensible and cheap prior precaution and absolutely staggered that someone would whittle over it. Would they prefer to pay £50 today, or £2 million tomorrow? I know which k would prefer, and still up my pennies in advance. 20 years ago I wouldn't have bothered, but 20 years ago ' no win no fee' solicitors werent allowed to hand out business cards in a&e.
Has this guy.been on Mars the last 2 decades? Does he not know hat we've caught the American litigious disease? It may be mad, it may be stupid, but complaining about it won't make it go away, whereas a small insurance premium, or a proper contract made in advance will.
It's modern life. It's wrong, but it's how it is. Wishing otherwise won't make it so.
