Tesco has sued a customer that threw a carton of milk at a manager, and spilt it, and been awarded £1.50 in compensation. Let that be a lesson to all would-be evil-doers out there! :lay:

The lawyers would have picked up at least £150...

They milked the case for all that it's worth...

I don't think Tesco sued him. He was prosecuted by the fuzz, and the beak ordered him to pay Tesco £1.50, as well as fines etc. All in, it cost him £181.50.

It seems a bit harsh, but reading between the lines, he was probably black.

Tort Reform anyone?

Do you think English judges are going to rule on your civil actions, Collector?
