Hypothetical Question
To celebrate the festive season and the end of semester the Business School staff of Griffith University attended a mid-week racing event at Eagle Farm in Brisbane. The staff enjoyed themselves immensely placing bets, eating and drinking. Unfortunately, the day ended badly when a bar attendant, MoshiBin who works at Eagle Farm Catering Pty Ltd, threw a glass of beer at one of the Business School staff members, who was complaining about the slow service at the bar. The glass missed its target and struck Nicole Rich, another horse racing patron, in the eye. She sustained serious eye injuries and has been unable to work.
As a result of the incident, Nicole cannot engage in her employment as a Cleaner and she takes no-pay leave for 6 months. During this period she develops an online gambling habit and loses $30,000 on Texas Holdem poker.
Adair Deville, another Business School staff member who had drunk ten glasses of champagne throughout the course of the day attempted to leave the reception area. Adair became disorientated from heavy drinking and climbed the racing perimeter fence. She walked along the fence for a number of metres, but overbalanced. She fell breaking her leg. There were no warning signs given about the potential danger of climbing the fence.
