James scott mynotes6/17/2023 ![]() He tried to grab something to prevent him from falling. When he was about 4 or 5 feet from the corner at which the steps to the main deck were situated, he felt the grating move below his feet. He put the three tubes on to his shoulder in order to carry them from the load bank room up to the deck above. Each was about 6 to 8 feet long and 11/2 inches in diameter. At about 11.00am on 21 July 1993 the pursuer had removed three scaffolding tubes. They were supposed to be replaced properly after being removed for such purposes. Again, according to the pursuer, over a period of time prior to July 1993 the individual grating panels had been removed from time to time to allow electricians and other workers to gain access underneath. During the course of the day the pursuer and Lindsay had been dismantling the scaffolding and carrying the poles up the steps to the main deck where Paterson loaded them on to a truck. ![]() According to the pursuer these panels were supposed to be secured by small clips to the angle irons beneath them. Their purpose was to allow access below the gratings and above the concrete flooring for the laying of cables and the like. They were individual panels which fitted together by means of clips. Each of the gratings was about 4 feet by 3 feet. The gratings were above a lower concrete surface, there being about 3 feet of space between the concrete surface and the gratings. The floor in the load bank room was not a complete surface. There was one exit from that room situated at a corner where there was a set of steps which led up to the main deck. It was about 20 to 30 feet long, 10 feet wide, perhaps a little more and about 6 feet high. According to the pursuer's evidence the load bank room was a rectangular shaped room with an off-shoot where a generator was situated. The two other men working with the pursuer were James Lindsay and Andrew Paterson. They required to remove the scaffolding poles from that room and take them to a vehicle which was situated on a deck above the load bank room. They were engaged in dismantling the scaffolding which had earlier been erected in that area. On 21 July 1993 the pursuer and his two colleagues were working in an area of the dry dock known as the load bank room. That was the squad of which the pursuer was in charge. By July of 1993 the requirement for scaffolders was almost at an end and in fact only one squad of three men remained on the job. He had started that employment at Coulport in September of 1992. Originally there were six or seven such squads working on the required scaffolding. The pursuer worked as part of a squad of three men of which he was in charge. On or about 21 July 1993 the pursuer was employed as a chargehand scaffolder with the first defenders at the Trident submarine dry dock known as Facility 210 of the Coulport Royal Naval Dockyard, Loch Long, near Helensburgh. He is a married man with four children aged between 29 and 17, none of whom lived at home with him and his wife. ![]() The pursuer's date of birth is 15 April 1950. The pursuer in this case seeks reparation in the sum of £180,000 in respect of loss, injury and damages which he claims was sustained by him through the fault and negligence of the defenders. ![]() Second and Third Defenders: Clark Paull & Williamsons Dealing With a Deceased's Estate Guidance Notes.Simplified Divorce and Dissolution of Civil Partnership Guidance Notes.AC Messenger-at Arms and Sheriff Officers.Criminal Courts Practice Notes and Directions.Procedures and practices which apply to courts.Only judgments of significant points of law or public interest.Divorce and Dissolution of Civil Partnership.Dealing With a Deceased’s Estate in Scotland.Information on how some court processes work and action you may want to take.Information for those due to attend or visit court.Preliminary Hearings and Dates of Inquiry.Courts, tribunals and Justice organisations in Scotland.
