Ah well, it's been over thirty years since I first studied insurance law, I'm quite impressed I remembered it at all :-)

If you give some more details such as location, surname maybe if it doesn't identify you if might help people who can search archives.

Ahh I remember studying that case well, my tort tutor had a photo from where he had been to the cafe bless him :)

Sorry, should clarify, the cafe in Donaghue v. Stevenson! I think it's a park there now.
