Lord Denning M.R. stated: "Before the school began the staff were indoors preparing for the day's work. They can't be expected to be in the playground, too." This seems a poor argument. The problem of staff being in two places at once can be resolved for the simple device of a roster system, or the employment of extra personnel. 32. [1944] I.R. 154 (High Ct., O'Byrne J.). 33.
