Huge bill for couple in landmark case after dodgy DIY job burns down neighbour's home
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A couple have been hit with a 350,000 court bill after dodgy DIY wiring to a freezer in their shed caused a fire that burnt their neighbour's house down. In a ruling that will send shivers down the spines of home improvers nationwide, a judge has ruled that Turney and Sue Logan are liable for the blaze which destroyed both their own home"
The Independent covers major topics including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and emphasizes on-the-ground reporting funded by donations and open access without paywalls. The outlet highlights investigative projects and documentaries that spotlight women fighting for reproductive rights and stresses that quality journalism should be available to everyone, supported by those who can afford it. A separate legal case found Turney and Sue Logan liable for a 2018 fire that destroyed both their home and a neighbour's after dodgy DIY wiring to a shed freezer. Investigators noted the electrics had been installed 13 years earlier and could have caused an electrical fault or the blaze could have been sparked by a cigarette; the wiring consisted of "a domestic grade extension lead for internal use with a four socket end" fed through a drilled hole in the wall, and the judge cited the couple's failure to have an electrician check the amateur installation.
