Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from McKay v. Govan School, 1967 CanLII 430 (SK CA):

In Gibbs v. Barking Corpn. [1936] 1 All ER 115, a boy was injured while vaulting over a “horse” in a gymnasium. Here, there was no mention of the standard of the careful or prudent parent. The court of appeal found that the games master did not act with the promptitude which the law requires.
