Hi, I have a question regarding these two cases.
Im Morris v Murray (1990), a guy knew the pilot was dead drunk but he flew the plane with him and crashed. The court held that he consented, so defendant not liable.
Similar case, Dunn v Hamilton (1939) a lady drove with a guy she knew to be drunk, had an accident, was injured and sued. The court held that she did not consent to be injured. So defendant was liable.Question: the first guy also didn’t consent to be injured but he lost his case. Please why. Thank you
Good question – if only because I don’t know the answer! Maybe it’s just a matter of the lapse of time – 51 years after Dunn maybe the Courts are taking a differing view
