Food poisoning at Trafford Centre Restaurant

philng

My daughter & partner have been extremely sick following a meal out on Monday at the Trafford Centre.
I have e mailed the restaurant & they are investigating they say through a 3rd party.
Unsure of any rights or where else I should report to to ensure no one else experiences the same?

has the doctor been able to pinpoint the source via stool samples?
have they confirmed food poisoning rather than something like norovirus?

Unless you are omnipresent you cannot "ensure no one else experiences the same". You could contact Environmental Health, who may temporarily shut the restaurant down.

What rights are you expecting to have?

You first need to establish beyond any doubt that food from the restaurant was the cause of you being "extremely sick". So I'd be waiting to see what result the restaurant's own investigation comes to.

Were you hospitalised?

Have you suffered any material loss?

By "rights", do you mean compensation?

Wouldn't the balance of probability be enough?

Yes, but not in the way you think.

You would need to prove - on the balance of probability - that they were negligent in their duty of care and the negligent act/omission caused the damage/injury.

However, given the incubation period for food poisoning can be anything from a few seconds to 6 months...I would say its a long way off from the balance of probability supporting the restaurant as being the culprits.

If you really feel the restaurant is to blame you could always contact the Food Standards Agency or your local authority.

Not what you "think"; more what you inferred.
Why make an argument of it?
