PwC sued by auditor after ‘pub golf’ brain injury | Financial Times
Evening work event encouraged ‘excessive’ drinking, according to claim
✒ The staff claimed that the firm was indirectly liable for the negligence of the manager who organised the drinks and “failed to take reasonable care for the safety of co-workers”.
In the (work) email invitation, the manager stated:
“I expect absolute attendance from all those who attended last year’s invitational. Nothing short of a certified and countersigned letter by an accredited medical practitioner will suffice as [sic] excuse.”
The claimant said “while it was not compulsory to attend, there was very heavy pressures to do so”.
