Legal Query

[bobtheturkey]

Hi I'm new here

Whilst cutting my toe nails this morning a particularly large lump of nail flew out my bathroom window and landed in my neighbours cup of tea she was drinking outside
On drinking a mouthful of tea she choked on said nail causing her to eject her false teeth which broke on the ground
Now Mrs O'Toole is claiming I recompense her for the teeth
Am wondering if she has a case

[sunny-dave]

I'd have a word with her husband (Plenty) and see if you can chew it over between you?

You don't want to be dragged through the courts, no matter the outcome.
You know you should do the right thing. Pay for a new set of gnashers.

Hi Bobo - a case to get your teeth into

The analysis is not correct ( the forms of action are dead and yet rule us from their grave ) ( Maitland Forms of action at common law 1909)

but tot up the forms of action - contract, trespass to person, assault, animal trespass, horse stealing etc

and the only one that is a go-er is - Negligence

Were you cutting your nails negligently?
Leaving the window open negligently I think is not enough

Then is the damage foreseeable
er Nettleship v Weston I think

and is it not too far away - (nail files causing rain crashed in Euston I suggest WOULD - be too far)

and bobs your uncle = £1000 please and worth every penny

Looks like you'll be fighting tooth and nail, eh?

For the sake of Her Husband, You should replace them or She might have a Paddy !

Try your local undertakers, They keep plenty in stock and tend to be a lot cheaper than a Dentist !

And if She does have a case ! Tell Her to keep Her dentures in that the next time you're angle grinding your talons.

Hope this helps. ;-)

refuse to pay and tell her to suck it p

She hasn't got a case, she's got an orange bucket.

Fight it tooth and nail.

I have CCTV from a satellite I own clearly showing Mrs O'Tool picking the toenail up from her gravel path and placing it in her cup of tea. The footage is yours for £500.00 (mates rates, although you're new)

[choux]

Nah. Just close your window next time, bob ;)

[johnny.5]

I cannot believe this as everyone knows toenails act exactly the same as a boomerang so your toenail will still be in your bathroom . it must be another nail in her tea

Am I right ?
I'm Not Wrong !
