520			_a Discusses the case of "Jolley v Sutton LBC" in which the CA ruled the local authority were not liable under the Occupier's Liability Act 1957 to a 14 year old boy. The case arose from a boat which was left to rot by a block of flats in south London in the late 1980s. In 1990 the claimant and a friend decided to renovate the boat, and whilst using a car jack to lift the bow onto a trailer, the boat collapsed on the claimant, breaking his back and causing paraplegia. On 18 May the HL allowed the boy's appeal. The resulting decision means that an occupier who fails to deal with obvious dangers on their land, may be liable if injuries of an unexpected nature occur on their land. See WB3625-23.
