    Howdy folks,

    I was at a course last week and one of the modules was health and safety and litigious scenarios...I asked the question what would happen if you were a bar owner and you had some dart boards...and the inevitable happened?

    She basically said that she knows of one venue where before you start playing darts you have to sign a disclaimer. Has anyone else ever seen anything like this?

    Nope. I have played in a lot of pubs and never heard anything like it. H&S legislation (and I am no expert here) would state that you must do what s considered "reasonable" to protect customers/employees etc. Hence the legal term "the reasonable test" in litigation cases.
    I am not sure that a disclaimer would have any legal standing ...imagine "I the undersigned will not hold the land lord liable to any injury I sustain or cause to others on the premises"
    The landlord has a load of tables and chairs beside or around the dartboard and he allows a game to start. Dont think the wavier would hold much ground. Also he would need to get everyone in the pub to sign also.
