Likewise, in Yachuk v Oliver Blais Co Ltd [1949] AC 386 the plaintiff, a nine year-old, purchased petrol from the defendant’s garage claiming it was for his mother. In the event, he was seriously injured whilst lighting fires with the substance. The defendants were found liable in supplying petrol to a child of that age and there was no contributory negligence on the part of the plaintiff, who could not have been aware of the danger.
