Even if you are among those who have no clue about law, this story can be worth reading. It is a colorful explanation of what tort laws are about – indicated with the famous story of the woman who sued McDonald’s. Torts are what in Europe is taught under the discipline of ‘wrongful acts’. Let’s see how ‘wrongful’ McDonald’s acted.
Did she really drink and drive?
We all ‘know’ the case of the woman who sued McDonald’s because she spilled coffee whilst she was driving, and severely burnt herself. Apparently, she won millions. Based on what they have heard of the case, most Europeans believe that instead of receiving damages her driving license should have been taken away for the mere fact that she was drinking a beverage whilst driving. European drivers don’t appreciate the idea of cup holders in cars in the first place. But driving is exactly what she did not do.
