Hi again,
I have been talking to a colleague this morning about case law and seem to recall from my NEBOSH studies an incident where an employee was injured when either trying to rescue a pigeon or clean up pigeon poo on a high ledge in a factory.
If this is familiar would somebody please put me out of my misery and remind me of the details.
Many thanks,
Malcolm

Sounds like Uddin V Associated Portland Cement (1965).
...I had to look it up!

The message in the Uddin case is that someone can successfully sue even when they are on a "frolic" of their own.
As engineers would be at risk from unguarded machinery in the roofspace, he was entitled to protection whilst doing something wholly unconnected with his employ.
Regards, Peter
