In June, Eddy takes his young son, Tony, to the local zoo for the fourth time that year. As they drive along the path heading to the entrance, there is a large sign on the left reading:
"The Zoo accepts no liability whatsoever for any personal injury or other damage howsoever caused to our visitors. "
Eddy has seen this sign before, but on this occasion he does not read it because Tony is pointing
out to him a helicopter in the sky on the right.

As the car enters the zoo's car park, Eddy presses a green button which lifts a bar at the entrance and, at the same time, ejects a ticket from a slot. Eddy places the ticket in his pocket without reading it.
While touring the zoo, Tony gets too close to the chimpanzees' cage and is punched in the eye. Returning to the car to go and seek medical attention, they discover that all four car tyres have been slashed and the windshield broken by a zoo employee who is angry at his non-promotion. When he complains to the manager, Eddy is referred to the back of the ticket which states:
"All cars are parked at the owner's risk. The Zoo is not liable for any damage to parked vehicles whether caused by the Zoo or its employees as a result of neglect, fundamental breach or otherwise. "
