That too. Public liability insurance payouts have been so huge
that insurance is impossible to get now for a whole lot of
things, and if i dug a bit, I'm sure I could find you cases where
someone (probably a burglar attempting a break and enter) was
awarded hundreds of thousands of doallrs because they slipped and
strained their ankle on an apple core from a fruit tree in a
backyard somewhere. This sort of litigation we picked up from
the world's best teachers.
