Clyde & Co has successfully defended a claim on behalf of a
fairground owner, which resulted from the unsafe manoeuvring of a
HGV severely injuring the Claimant on Cambridge Common.
The event organiser had alleged that during the stage where the
fairground materials were being brought to site and constructed,
our client was responsible for control, possession and management
of the Common, including those areas outside the fairground site.
We successfully argued that the circumstances and contractual
documentation indicated that our client held no liability for the
Claimant's injury; having occurred away from the fairground
site.
Our client was held to have no liability to the Claimant or the
co-Defendants.
