An e-scooter rider who broke her leg illegally riding on the road has lost her court battle where she tried to claim £30,000 damages.
Giovanna Drago broke her leg after she hit a pothole in north London in 2020, and tried to sue the London Borough of Barnet over an alleged failure to keep the road clear - even though she had been riding on the road illegally.
The 22-year-old saw her case thrown out of court, in what is thought to be the first of its kind, after the local authority denied liability.
