A female worker has received £15,900 in damages after injuring her foot while standing on a toilet to open a window.
The woman, Mrs Wallace, was awarded the money at the Court of Appeal after it heard how she stood on the rim of the bowl which then toppled over sideways. A lower court initially ruled that she should not be entitled to compensation as she should have left the window closed or gone to get a pole rather than try to open the window herself.
