Cool £4k win for ice-slip woman
Wed 16 May 2007 5pm
A Scottish shop worker has been awarded £4,500 in damages after she was injured when she slipped on ice, the Daily Record reports.Isabelle MacKenzie was at work at the Co-op store in Fortrose, Ross-shire when she slipped on ice she was contracted to grit herself.
The 50-year-old sustained injuries to her shoulder as a result of her fall.
Her employers claim she had been drinking the evening before her morning shift on Hogmanay 2002, while the court also heard that she still had alcohol on her breath when she was taken to work.
However, sheriff Alasdair MacFadyen rejected this claim, saying she was not intoxicated when she arrived at work.
He concluded that the Co-op had failed to ensure that the entrance to the shop was gritted, yet added: "The accident was also caused partly by the fault of the pursuer in that she failed to take reasonable care for her own safety."
