£7,750 Compensation for Supermarket Manager

Nigel is a manager at a supermarket.

During induction at the supermarket he was told that if a “Code 7” is announced on the tannoy that all managers must go to where there is an incident and assist. A ‘Code 7’ went out so Nigel went to the front of the store where there was a shoplifter.

Our client had hold of the shoplifter’s shirt, the shoplifter tried to run away but Nigel was still holding on to the shirt and as he did so he fell over a bollard and onto the ground and broke his elbow.
