Golfer sought £1mn for dog nip
A golf-club professional, Andrew Raitt, sought damages alleging that, but for a dog bite on his little finger in 1995, he
would have been a potential Ryder Cup player. He claimed that the bite left the finger 0.5cm shorter than before, affecting
his club holding. The amount was based on £349,697 for past, and £798,000 future losses.
