An 11-year-old boy has been awarded £1,800 damages after being injured while trying on shoes in a sportswear shop in Edinburgh.
The boy, who cannot be identified, was trying on trainers at a branch of JJB Sports in Edinburgh when he was struck by a drawer on a stock trolley.
He suffered a cut and his shirt was torn at Fort Kinnaird Park in March 2007, which has left him with a scar.
His mother, from Musselburgh, sued the sportswear giant on his behalf.
She claimed against the company over its duty of care to prevent accidents.
The court heard the boy had sat down on a seat to try on shoes but could not get his heel in so had stood up, turned round and bent over to sort the problem. |
