Ireland v David Lloyd Leisure Ltd: CA 14 Jun 2013

The claimant sought damages after being injured working out in the defendant’s gym. A weights machine had chopped off the top of her finger when it came to rest. The defendant appealed against a finding that the warnings had been inadequate.
Held: The appeal failed. The case had been inadequately pleaded, with certain factual elements only becoming clear at trial, but further evidence or an adjournment would not have assisted the defendant.
