Supervisory negligence claim thrown out
A personal injury claim which was based on allegations of supervisory negligence against a judo club has been thrown out.
The claimant suffered a broken clavicle, which failed to reunite, during his first judo lesson. He has not worked since the
incident. The case, argued by a “no win/no fee” firm, was pleaded at £180,000, with costs pushing the final potential figure
up to £280,000.
