§ Mr. ALDENasked the Attorney-General whether his attention had been called to the recent decision of Justices Hamilton and Banks in the case of Jones and another v. Lee to the effect that the law provided no redress for a cyclist, motorist, or other road user who sustains injury from animals which had been allowed to stray on the highway, and imposed no obligation on farmers or others to keep their fences in such a condition that animals could not stray on the road; and whether he would initiate legislation to amend the law in this regard?
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir Rufus Isaacs)The effect of this judgment is not so far-reaching as my hon. Friend suggests. I will consider the desirability of introducing amending legislation.
