Tort – Reasonable foreseeability – Harris v Perry [2008]

2

In Harris v Perry [2008] EWCA Civ 907, the Court of Appeal held that it was impossible to preclude all risks that, when playing together, children may injure themselves or each other. In this case, where two children were injured when playing on a bouncy castle, it was not reasonably foreseeable that boisterous play on a bouncy castle would involve a significant risk of serious harm and so the parents who hired it did not have a duty of care to keep the children playing on it under constant supervision.
