Paralysed woman loses £6 million compensation claim.
A woman who hit her head on the bottom of a swimming pool during a late-night party in Surrey has lost her claim for £6m damages in the High Court. Kylie Grimes, now 23, of Farnham, was left paralysed from the chest down when she dived into the pool in August 2006. The pool owner David Hawkins, of Compton Way, Farnham, denied liability and said he considered the pool safe.
