Fortuitous flutter
The following is an extract from
"Ph i l l i ps
Fox
B r i e f i ngs"
(Australia)
for May
1989,
submitted to the Gazette by
David R. Pigot, Solicitor.
Sydney senior partner Ken Austin
recently recalled a story that
proves there is more than one
way for a plaintiff to win a case.
Ken once acted for a client
claiming damages after a motor
vehicle accident. He advised the
client that the damages might be
assessed at around £500.
Much to Ken's dismay, his
client was unsuccessful at the
hearing of the matter.
But Ken was puzzled by his
client's nonchalant reaction to
the unfavourable verdict.
Asked to explain why he was
not upset, the client told Ken
that before the hearing he had
contacted his bookmaker, who
said plaintiffs usually won in
these cases.
So the client backed himself
to lose - investing £50 at odds
of 10 to 1.
