Occupiers Liability Act 1984 creates liability of land owners for trespassers injuries on their land.

If the land is dangerous AND accessible then why shouldn't they be held liable for it? Any dangerous land should either be secured and/or sign posted about the dangers efficiently so that it is clear that trespassers accept liability for their own risks.

If there was a hole in a fence somewhere and your kids climbed into it and broke their legs I'm sure you'd sue over it too, I know I would. If this lads done something similar then I hope he does sue. Why should land owners get away with things like that?
