  • I like the idea of a group of lawyers establishing the case to create a new legal market to meet the growing consumerism of the time. Well thought out by this bloke

  • Hazzmania - I think you'll find it's not Mainland Europe, but Glaswegian accent. Quite harsh, possible subtitles would have been beneficial for non-Scots.

    This is Brilliant. Not sure about the musical background tho. My lord, the day i don't have to hear the words Mrs. Donoghue, snail, neighbour principle etc, i will die a happy happy law student.

  • What language is that? I couldn't understand a single word. Is it french? or probably some kind of spanish?

  • Well Done! This clip assists with support of the written case. Questions asked supports some good thought for further discussion. Thank you for the posting. Professor Do

  • Thank you so much for this video. I don't even think that most lawyers know the history and details behind this landmark case. So cool... =D

  • Starting Tort Law this afternoon -- this video was helpful & interesting! Thank you for making & posting it! Narration track completely understandable but low in volume; used headphones.

    It just seems strange how in Britain, the losing party in a suit pays both party's fees.

    Now, before class, I think there's enough time to enjoy a nice frosty bottle of ginger beer... ;D

  • Good luck with your studies pumamama9. Make sure the beer's in an opaque bottle before you get sick.

  • hehe...good stuff. Funny how many people don't know that the facts never went to proof...;-)

  • "The lot of the critic is to be remembered by what they failed to understand."

  • useless.. your accent is far too strong.

    thanks for the attempt but.

  • WTF Your narration is hard to follow! Is English your first language? Not the content but your voice!

  • I mean the content is fine but the narration is a little muffled.

  • loved it thanks for that keemaj9a

  • Lol. Well I certainly will not be losing marks for discussing it in my exam next week. Have you finished your degree now?

  • I was one of those mature students and got a 2/1 eleven years ago. I'm now retired and do a bit of messing about on the Net and get up peoples' noses in other ways. Lots of luck with your exams. If it is law exams you're sitting remember: Fact, Law; Decision. What were the facts? what law was applied to them giving what decision. Good luck

  • This is brilliant. I always thought it was strange that a pauper went all the way to the House of Lords with a case about a snail in a bottle.

  • Hi Siopann,

    Glad you liked this. In 1990 a distinguished Canadian lawyer organised a "Pilgramage to Paisley" to celebrate the case's role in the development of the law of negligence, and, one presumes, express the debt of gratitude owed by personal injury lawyers the world o'er. One of my law lecturers a few years ago threatened to take marks off me if I mentioned D v S in my exams, he was sick to death of reading about the case.

  • Great
