Sloan v Governors of Rastrick High School [2014] EWCA Civ 1063, [2014] All ER (D) 305 (Jul)

The claimant had been a learning support assistant whose duties had included pushing a student in her wheelchair. The claimant sustained a soft tissue injury that caused her chronic pain in her shoulder and back. Her claim for damages for personal injury from the school was dismissed, with the recorder finding that there had been no breach of reg 4 of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, SI 1992/2793. The Court of Appeal, Civil Division, held that there had been no error in the recorder’s approach, reasoning or conclusion and dismissed the appeal.
