IN the Court of Appeal on .Monday, Stockton-on-Tees Corporation were held to be not liable to pay damages to the widow of a motorcyclist who died after colliding with a road island described as" a dangerous trap."
Lord Justice Jenkins said that although the Corporation were responsible for the maintenance of the road.. they were not the builders. The road had been taken over from Durham County Council in 1941, and the theory. that the Corporation had inherited from the D.C.C. the duty to light or otherwise provide warning of the, island appeared to be . untenable in view of the decision in Nash v, Rochford Rural District Council, 1917.
Their lordships were not satisfied that a case of negligence could have been made out against the D.C.C. on the facts of the case.
