Supreme Court decision this week. Victor Wong was 12 years old when his mother signed a liability waiver to enroll him in a Hapkido school, a Korean martial art. Wong was 16 when he was allegedly violently thrown to the ground during a sparring match. At 20, he still suffers from his injuries. Wong is suing Michael Lok, the owner of Lok's Martial Arts Centre in Richmond, and his sparring partner for negligence. He argues that Lok failed to provide preventative measures to screen participants, instruct them, require protective gear and supervise matches. However, Lok argues that the claim should be dismissed as Wong's mother signed a waiver protecting him from litigation. B.C. Justice Peter Willcock disagreed, ruling that, under the Infants Act of B.C., a parent can not waive their child's rights to sue for negligence. "The Act does not permit a parent or guardian to bind an infant to an agreement waiving the infant's right to bring an action in damages in tort," Willcock found in his decision. The case is scheduled to proceed in November. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://the-dojang.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/the_dojang Copyright 1994-2009: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
