martin 332 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Working as I do with offenders,I know that everyone(without exception)has a 'Duty of Care'.And,as I see your case,as long as you are within your rights to have your dog off the lead then the landowner has a 'Duty of Care' to anyone who uses their land.That said,I would say that the case does hinge on you being able to prove that you were within your rights to have your dog off the lead.All land is owned by someone,so firstly find out exactly who owns the land(land registry office)then contact them about your case,and allow them to come back with a reply.Then you can see a solicitor,when you know what the landowners stance is.Are you a member of 'Countryside Alliance' or 'B.A.S.C.' as they have a legal department that would be happy to help you........................Best of luck with the dog and your case..................Martin.

SNAP SHOT 194 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 hi, j28 sorry to hear about your dog. if you contact any solicitor mate they should be able to give you some advice over the phone. take pictures of the area in case they tidy it up in the meantime, if you get some with broken bottles etc. and it is a park where people can freely roam, then your local council is responsible for the upkeep and safety within that area... take pics of your dogs injuries. then confront the council and ask them to at least partly pay for your trouble and the dogs injuries. if your not meeting any progress contact your local member of goverment. i would not let it rest when faced with such a heafty bill at someone elses carelessness. hope all turns out ok mate. best of luck.

NIGHTSHADOW 3 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Have you thought about going to your local paper and see if they will do a story on it. One to bring it to the attention of others as a danger as you say it could have been kids out playing Or write to you local MP I would not sit on it there would be no harm in trying good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WILF Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 that should feck for everyone........dont blame you for trying, but all they will do is ban everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MOLLY Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 that should feck for everyone........dont blame you for trying, but all they will do is ban everything. I was thinking the same, they will either ban dogs or they will have to be kept on a lead. They will do everything they possibly can to avoid having to fork out in the future. MOLL.
