In the case of Percival v. LCC (1918), the court addressed the issue of whether the London County Council (LCC) was liable for injuries sustained by a cyclist who collided with a road obstruction. The plaintiff, Percival, argued that the LCC failed to maintain the road properly, leading to hazardous conditions. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the LCC, determining that the council was not liable as they had taken reasonable steps to ensure the road's safety. This case highlighted the limits of liability for public authorities in maintaining roadways.
