Yes, or have been seen on bouncy castles and that kind of stuff. People lodge claims yet if they lose they just walk away scot free but somebody ends up paying legal costs. I am sure the insurance company will have to pay for its legal and investigation costs. There does not seem to be anything to deter people from lodging false claims. Maybe there is but the public are unaware of it and I ask the Minister of State to enlighten us.
