What a very sad case, yes one could say that the correct judgement was made, but when one hears of £1000s of pounds of damages awarded to others who have only endured certain amounts of stress for one reason or other, and the large amount of compensation Sharon Shoesmith, stands to be awarded for her dismissal over the baby 'P' case, it makes one feel so sorry for this young girl.
Yes it was through her own fault that this accident happened, but she has still to live the rest of her life paralysed with no cash provided to pay for all the care and extra facilities in which to make her shattered life easier.
Would not the pools owner's insurance pay the compensation if it had been awarded, after all I thought that anyone who injured themselves on a person's property could claim damages?
