It Is Only In Britain I Think, That You Can Be Sued,

for clearing the snow from your own front door!

yes that is correct, if you clear the snow and ice from your own front door or the approach to your business and some one falls they can sue you! but if you leave the snow and ice and they fall they cannot,

the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health has warned its members that if people think an area has been cleared of ice and then fall over and injure themselves - they could take legal action, Michael Pepper, 68, asked Cambridgeshire county council to send him some grit which he offered to spread - but he was warned he could be sued if he did so, the council later claimed he had been given the wrong advice,

but government whip Lord Davies of Oldham explained during a House of Commons debate: "If people totally clear away all snow and return the pavement to the situation it was in before the snow landed, they have done an excellent job, if it is done in a less than complete manner and leaves ice, which is more dangerous than the original covering of snow, it may not be the local authority responsible but the householder for having dealt with the pavement."

John McQuater, president of the National Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, admitted: 'If you do nothing you cannot be liable, if you do something, you could be liable to legal action.'

money making idea number 27, wait till the council grits the road, cross it, fall over half way across, refuse to get up so an ambulance is called, get a 'no win, no fee' accident lawyer, (make sure you already have their number in your pocket) sue the council, retire! what a crazy land the UK has become.
