‘The case of Paul Chadwick v (1) RH Ovenden Limited and (2) Rian Hamilton [2022] EWHC 1701 (QB) concerns an accident which occurred on Manston Airfield (“the Airfield”) in an unused cargo plane. The Claimant, Mr Chadwick, was badly injured during the process of dismantling the plane (“the Accident”). The case examines the employment relationships as between the Claimant and the two Defendants; it serves as a helpful recap on workplace negligence principles and provides a cautionary tale on the importance of workplace risk assessments.’
