A judge had been correct to say that when considering the liability of an English Tour operator for the negligence of a hotel in Spain, for an injury occurring in Spain, the standards of negligence to apply where those of an English court, but that did not mean that the safety standards to be applied were English ones. The test of negligence was whether the hotel operator had complied with local standards, not whether he had complied with English safety standards.
