The claimant was severely injured when electrocuted by an overhead cable at work. He was on a platform raised by an associate.
Held: the system of work did give rise to danger. Because of the failure to provide Mr Milroy with proper training or other satisfactory notification of the appropriate system, BT created and are liable for this breach of statutory duty, with a contribution of one third for his own negligence.
