Representing the Claimant: John Grace
The claimant had purchased a conservatory kit for the rear of his property. The claimant asked his neighbour who had experience as a general labourer and who had good DIY skills to build it for him in his spare time.
On the date of the accident the defendant had almost finished building the conservatory and was working on the rafters. As the claimant entered into the conservatory carrying a cup of coffee, he was struck in the eye by a rafter which was inappropriately fitted by the defendant.
At the time this was sensationally reported in a number of newspapers and home improvement magazines as a warning to everyone who asks the assistance of a friend or neighbour in doing DIY for them. However the case was not about that, rather that individuals are responsible for their own actions, particularly where the task that they are carrying out was as simple a task as tightening up a screw.
