The claimant sought damages after injuring his ankle. The two defendants denied liability. They were working on the remediation of a former sewage works site. The claimant climbed from his cab on approaching the site from a tight angle and slipped in slurry spilled across the road outside the site. The defendants said that medical evidence suggested he had jumped from the cab.
Held: The circumstances supported the claimant’s version of events, and he succeeded subject to a deduction of 25% contributory negligence.
