I remember having a house surveyed which I wanted to buy and the surveyor said that the drive "looked slippery" and might incur problems with the postie etc slipping and taking legal action !!
If it's my job to clean the path and the wife slips on some leaves then she can sue me on the house insurance (it's been done)........crazy !!
The reason I remember this is that the surveyors report said he had a bad back and couldn't go into the loft space or the cellar so couldn't comment on these aspects so the structural survey was invalid and needed someone else to inspect the property..........so we had to pay twice when some able bodied person inspected the property !!
We tried all sorts.......but surveyors seem immune to any sort of legal comback

Common sense aside, why not have a more litigious society?
If someone spills ketchup on your £200 suede shoes or £150 white shirt and it's not your fault, i bet they wouldn't think about paying for replacing them. It wasn't your fault in the least, but i bet *you* are labeled the stupid person for wearing expensive shoes/shirt and "no f**king way am i replacing your £200 quid shoes - who buys £200 shoes?!"
Litigation is good.

That is just ridiculous. Although he has left Tesco, he should be suing them as he was in their employment not the individual. Not that he should actually be suing anyone for that of course.
Midlife: I would have refused to pay the first surveyor as they didn't complete the task.

There was something in the contract for the surveyor which stated something like if an area was hard to get at then he could not be held liable if something was missed.......I assumed this was to cover him for missing an unexplosded bomb buried in the garden and not his bad back

Counter sue for trespassing.... whilst yeah the guy ordered stuff from Tesco, he hadn't given the delivery driver express permission to enter his premises. Then due to his unlawful trespass he hurt himself, causing you unnecessary strain and anguish which of course you are going to sue for..

Unfortunately it wouldn't be worth the sign it's written on in the event of being sued. You'd need to get the person's express agreement that they will waiver all liability and probably a signature to that effect to have any kind of standing, you might even need witnesses...

I've said before, there needs to be 'duty of personal responsibility' to cover stuff like this. So, for example, you couldn't sue the council for tripping over a pothole in the pavement as you should have been looking where you were going , etc etc
