Through its judgment the Court confirmed the Plaintiff's version of events and ordered the Respondent Club to pay the global sum of €22,865 after causing considerable damage to the Plaintiff's land in Zebbug, Malta. BackgroundThe Plaintiffs cultivate and work agricultural land situated in the area known as Wicc ir-Rahal, within the limits of Zebbug. The Club did not seriously dispute that a fire had happened in 2021; its defence rested on whether the fireworks were really to blame. Under Maltese law, anyone running a "dangerous activity" and the Court treated fireworks as exactly that, is held to a strict standard of diligence and care. The farmers' request for extra, unquantified damages was refused, however, the Court would only award for losses that were actually proven.
