WRULD Claims heard in Courts in England, Scotland and Wales
Hearing(s) - Gissing - v - Walkers Smith Snack Foods Ltd
| Date | Court | Claimant(s) | Task | Injury | Judgment for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Jul 1999 | Lincoln County | Gissing | Packing bags of crisps | Tenosynovitis | Defendant |
A note of the Judgment in this matter (no official transcript is available) suggests the Plaintiff experienced pain in his left wrist after about 9 hours of a 12-hour shift of packing packets of crisps into boxes, at a rate of approximately 3,000 packets per hour. The medical experts evidently agreed that the Plaintiff suffered a discreet episode of either Tenosynovitis or Peri-tendinitis crepitans, but there is no discussion or finding relating to causation. The Plaintiff evidently failed to establish negligence or any breach of statutory duty.
