TOUCHLINE
ISSUE 19 | NOV 2014
Many liability claims from sporting and recreational activities relate to the condition of the
playing surface. As a change from considering claims arising from earthbound activities, the
New South Wales Supreme Court and Court of Appeal have recently considered claims arising
from gliding and the use of light aircraft and this article will discuss the Court’s conclusions
and identify any lessons applicable to terrestrial recreational activities.
