And this is relevant how? Do you read any of my other ravings? Would it be relevant to a compensation claim if some idiot did the chip trick I described? -- dorayme

It shows the relevance of the complaints that the coffee was overheated at McDonald's, compared with coffee served at other such companies, which didn't cause such serious burns when spilt in the normal course of usage. The moral is: don't overheat coffee dispensed to the public and give consideration to frequent complaints. > Do you read any of my other ravings? Would it > be relevant to a compensation claim if some idiot did the chip trick I > described? > No, the chip trick is irrelevant, because it is an unlikely, abnormal behavior. Spilling coffee is not. Getting serious burns from overheated coffee is the liability of the company that continued to overheat its coffee despite well documented complaints and well documented comparisons with other such companies. The court took these facts into account and was sustained in its judgement and conduct by a series of higher courts, which have the duty to reverse misjudgements of lower courts.
