Compensation Bill [HL]

It seems to me that we are now moving so far from the original motivation for introducing Clause 1, which was the problem with school trips and similar activities undertaken by Guides and Scouts, and so on, that this is becoming another argument for not having Clause 1 at all and for leaving the courts to recognise, as they do, that there are extremely varied circumstances in which it is reasonable not to prevent a risk. Such activities are not necessarily confined to leisure activities or children’s activities or anything of that kind and indeed are so wide that they cannot be defined.
