It is irrelevant that the lady trespassed onto land where the horse was kept. The Occupiers Liability Act places a duty of care on landowners to protect visitors against forseeable risk - be they invited visitors or trespassers. After all, not all trespassers have bad intent - sometimes people...

This post is really a follow on from my earlier about trying to find a safe cob. I have seen what looks like the sort of horse I would like, being advertised by a lady called Amy Fisher at Millington Horses, and she has said she is prepared to refund my money if the horse proves to be...

Thank you again to everybody who have posted, I appreciate your help very much. While posting could I pick your brains again: (1) Has anyone had dealings with a horse dealer called Amy Fisher, at somewhere called Millington horses in Cheshire ? The reason for my question is that I have seen...
