- This was a case ofgastroenteritis meaning there were snail bides in the beverage you drank
- WHAT IN THE WORLD THIS IS NOT MY FAULT!!!
- Oh really well now I am going to sue them!
- So turns out Donoghue claimed that she felt sick so she went to the doctor and the doctor found that she had gastroenteritis she then sued Stevenson which he is the manufacture for negligence also the beer had remnants of a snail. She thought that he should pay compensation because her illness was caused by the snail bides in the beer.

- Donoghue was unsuccessful at trial and appealed the decision to the house of Lord but Shevenson argued that it was not his fault because he didn't have a contract. The case developed a concept of duty of care in the tort of negligence but before cases were with contracts but because there was no contract between them but the lords decided to unshackle the duty concept one of the lords said the you must not injure your neighbor which then became the neighbor principle. Even though they were strangers she had the right to expect that Stevenson should insure the beer he was producing that was free of snail bides.
- Slide: 6
- You have duty to check your goods in this case
- In this case there was duty which was that the duty to take reasonable care to ensure that their products are safe for consumption. So she did not win in court but when she appealed it she technically did because he then had the duty to ensure his good didn't have any snail bides, and it didn't matter if he had a contract or not it was up to the lords l.ikeLords Buckmaster and Tomlin, in the dissent, state that the common law principles cannot be changed and that to allow this appeal would change too much.
