Bride fails in holiday damages claim

A woman who sued a package holiday company after her husband drowned on their honeymoon, has lost her case for damages. The husband died after they both fell into a hole in the sandy lagoon, and he was unable to escape and drowned. The woman had argued that the holes in the seabed were hazards that they should have been warned against. The judge ruled that holidaymakers would be expected to know there was nothing unusual about changes in depth of the sea bed.
