Kristi Riedel (led by J D McKenna KC) appeared for the Appellant, instructed by Hall & Wilcox.
This case concerns an appeal by the defendant to the Supreme Court of Queensland to reverse the outcome that the plaintiff suffered injuries because a trampoline manufactured by the defendant had a safety defect. The court considered whether the plaintiff’s injuries could be said to have been suffered because of the safety defect and held that the plaintiff had not proved this. As such, the plaintiff’s claim under the ACL and his case in negligence should have failed at trial. The court allowed the appeal.
