Barnsley MBC [2017] appears to have advanced the law relating to potholes, and the duties of local authorities when a pothole has been reported by a member of the public.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003a7a; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>The facts<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOn Friday 27th January 2012, a member of the public called Barnsley\u2019s highways team to report a pothole on a residential street in Athersley.<\/p>\n<p>The Council&#8217;s highways team had in place a system whereby defects reported by members of the public were assessed on\u00a0the next working day. Given that it was a weekend, the next working day was to be Monday 30th January so no inspection and assessment took place on the Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Crawley went out jogging on Saturday the 28th. He fell over as a result of the pothole and hurt his ankle. He brought a compensation claim against the Council.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Barnsley County\u00a0Court, which first heard the case\u00a0found that the pothole was dangerous and \u2018actionable\u2019 but went on to rule that the system operated by Barnsley Council&#8217;s highway team was sufficient, and good enough to defeat Mr Crawley\u2019s claim.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003a7a; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>The Law<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The law recognises that local authorities cannot reasonably repair every pothole as soon as it occurs, and instead\u00a0imposes a duty on them to have a rigorous and reasonable inspection process.<\/p>\n<p>Local authorities have a defence (known as a Section 58 defence) against highway defect claims\u00a0if they can show that they had a suitable system of inspection of roads and pavements in place and that they followed their system. If the local authority can prove this, then they are said to have taken reasonable care and a claim will fail.<\/p>\n<p>Most local authorities\u00a0adopt a system of inspection recommended by the Department of Transport. The system sets out how often they should\u00a0perform inspections,how quickly they should\u00a0check reported defects and, once checked, how quickly they should\u00a0repair the defects.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003a7a; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>The Appeal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mr Crawley was unsatisfied by the decision, and his lawyers appealed to the Court of Appeal. His reasoning was that complaints received on Monday to Thursday were considered by a highway inspector the next day but it was unreasonable if a complaint was made on a Friday then there was a delay of at least 2 days (more if a bank holiday). Following the decision in Wilkinson v. City of York Council [2011] EWCA Civ 207 the Court of Appeal had earlier ruled that a \u2018lack of resources\u2019 within local authorities is irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>The decision of the Court of Appeal was not unanimous. Briggs LJ and Irwin LJ agreed that the system operated by the Council which made no evaluation of potentially serious defects reported on Fridays and Saturdays and out of hours\u00a0was not a reasonable one.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson LJ disagreed. In his judgement the system of inspection on the next working day (or immediately in a case of exceptional urgency) was reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>So, by a majority of 2 to 1, the Court of Appeal ruled that it was not reasonable to leave\u00a0defects reported on a Friday or Saturday until a Monday with no evaluation of how serious they were. Mr Crawley won and received compensation.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003a7a; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>So what happens now?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how local authorities respond to this case. They may form a view that the risk of someone being injured between the reporting of a defect and its inspection are so rare that they need not do anything.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1314\" style=\"width: 153px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tayloremmet.co.uk\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/101-013931.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1314\" class=\"wp-image-1314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tayloremmet.co.uk\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/101-013931-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"John Green\" width=\"143\" height=\"212\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Green<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, some may conclude further training will be required for staff who take the calls from the public. Their staff may now need to acquire\u00a0the ability to assess how dangerous a defect is by asking the right questions over the phone. They may then\u00a0decide, having asked a few probing questions, whether to send an \u2018out-of-hours\u2019 team along to check a defect \u2018in the flesh\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to discuss any type of personal injury claim, please call us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tayloremmet.co.uk\/index.php\/contact-us\/call-back\"><strong><span style=\"color: #003a7a;\">0114 218 4000<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, email us at <a href=\"mailto:info@tayloremmet.co.uk\"><span style=\"color: #003a7a;\"><strong>info@tayloremmet.co.uk<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0or <strong><span style=\"color: #003a7a;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tayloremmet.co.uk\/index.php\/contact-us#form\">complete this form<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Court of Appeal&#8217;s decision in Crawley v.
