A Fly in the Ointment
… or in this case, a fly in the water.
A Windsor resident found a fly in a bottle of Culligan water. Mind you, he never opened the bottle or drank from it. He sued Culligan and was awarded $341,000 for mental distress. The provincial court of appeal overturned the award. Now, the Supreme Court of Canada will hear the case.
Remember … no one ever opened the bottle. They just saw the fly in there.
is that all he sued for? hmmm, maybe if i put a bee in my water bottle and i could sue for a cool million.
