Allison v London Underground Ltd: CA 13 Feb 2008

‘whether or not the duty imposed by Regulation 9 is absolute, and does not require the proof of any fault on the part of the employer. Should the adequacy of the training given to an employee be judged by the result in the light of events or should it, as the judge held, be assessed in the light of what the employer knew about the risks at the time, even though, in the light of later events, it could be seen that the training had been inadequate? If neither if those tests is correct, what is the correct test?’
