Mullin v Richards (1998)
Two 15yr olds fighting with plastic rulers. A ruler snapped and a splinter had pierced one of the girls eyes which left her blind in that eye.
The court found that the 15yr old girl was only expected to meet the standard of care of a 15yr old and not that of an adult. She was found not to be in breach of her duty of care.
