A hockey match was held last Saturday at the Cook Sports Club to
a sellout crowd. The match, a grand final, was between the
Townsville Meerkats and the Cairns Cassowaries. It was tied with
only a few minutes left to play. In the last seconds of play the
ball was struck by a player with such force that it went over the
stands and the club’s five (5) metre high boundary fence onto the
road outside. At that moment, Tina, who was unaware the match was
taking place, was crossing the road outside the Cook Sports Club
and was hit by the hockey ball. The hit caused permanent damage to
Tina’s hearing. She also required corrective cosmetic surgery to
fix the broken bones in her face. As a result of the injuries
caused by the ball Tina is unable to work in her job as a sound
technician at the Music Bowl Studios. Tina now wants to sue the
Cook Sports Club. Advise Tina in tort law
