Volenti Non Fit Injuria

Summary

In Morris v Murray [1991], the court held that willingly confronting an obvious danger, such as accepting a ride with a drunk pilot, barred recovery due to the doctrine of volenti non fit injuria. This legal principle means that if someone willingly puts themselves in a risky situation, they cannot claim damages for any resulting harm.
