Interesting court decision. May join the ranks of spilled coffee and the like.
A husband and wife had some friends, a couple, over to their house. The house had one bathroom. One of the guys was using the bathroom. The two women had to go, and for some reason decided to use a cement laundry sink as a toilet. One climbed on and then the other. The sink crashed to the floor, injuring the woman who was a guest in the house. She sued the owners for her injuries.
The owners moved the court to dismiss the case on the grounds that the sink wasn't defective and they had no duty to protect guests from acting like idiots. The courts have allowed the case to continue for the jury to decide whether there was a breach of some duty to the guests. Trial hasn't happened yet.
grrrr.
