Dunbar v. School District 1971, [1987] ,[object Object],[object Object],An 18 year-old student severely injured his right hand while using a table-saw during a woodworking class. He stated that, at the time of the accident, he was following the instructions given to him by his teacher; however, he could not recall precisely how the accident had occurred. The teacher had modified the table-saw by removing the blade guard provided by the manufacturer and replacing it with a Plexiglas blade guard which permitted the user to see the position of the blade when the guard was engaged during cutting. Was the teacher found to be negligent?

Notas do Editor

  1. We continue our discussion of teachers’ responsibility to “take care” of their students by considering issues relating to possible defenses to a negligence claim. We will also consider the question of “who pays?” when monetary compensation has been ordered by the court. In addition, we will consider the likelihood of educational malpractice becoming a source of negligence suits in the future. Finally, we will once again allow you to “be the judge” in assessing liability in several Canadian educational negligence cases.
