Mock Trial
This event will show how the process works and what to expect if a claim ends up in court proceedings. It will simulate a real-life personal injury claim that went to court recently. It involves an accident in which a person was leading a horse up a country lane and claimed that the driver of a tractor was negligent in failing to stop/turn off his engine, causing the horse to be spooked and bolt and cause her serious injuries. It is a trial on liability for the accident. As in most real-life disputes, the law will be important, but the core of the disagreement will be about the facts. Some witnesses will be more credible than others. Both parties will have their strong points and their weak points. Ultimately, it will be up to the Judge to decide.
