BreakingFamily of drowned cyclist loses High Court battle
PACopyright: PA
The
family of a cyclist who drowned in Bristol harbour has lost a High Court bid
for nearly £2m in damages against the local authority.
Father-of-two
Sean Phillips, 40, died on March 6 2013 after losing his balance while cycling
to work along Princes Wharf.
His
partner Hayley Liddle, 47, and their two teenage sons alleged that Mr Phillips'
death "would not have occurred" if Bristol City Council had put
adequate safety measures in place.
But,
sitting in London on Friday, Judge Mark Gargan QC ruled that a "package of
signs" alerting cyclists to the dangers of riding along the wharf was
adequate and found that the council was not liable for Mr Phillips' death.
He
said that "any cyclist going along that route would have realised that
there was a risk of falling into the dock if they cycled near to the harbour
edge".
Mr
Phillips - who was born with fibular hemimelia, the same condition as South
African athlete Oscar Pistorius - had been cycling to work as part of his
preparation for a 200-mile charity bike ride to Amsterdam.
