In Spencer-Franks v Kellogg Brown and Root Ltd and others [2008] UKHL 46 HL, a worker repairing a door closer was injured by it. The House of Lords, now the Supreme Court, reversed a Court of Session decision and held that the door closer was “work equipment” within the meaning of the PUWER regulations. It held that the door closer was apparatus for use at work and found the employer liable to maintain it.
