Rejected petition snow clearing responsibiltiy

More details

whether a resident or landowner clears fallen snow from their property should remain a matter of choice but encourage responsible people to do so by banning the compensation culture from claiming against well intentioned property owners for so called falls and slips.
the only people who win at present are the solicitors.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Whether a claim against a property owner is a legitimate case of negligence or simply trading on the 'compensation culture' is a matter for the courts.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
