This case (Parker v South Eastern Railway (1877) 2 CPD 416) demonstrates that while a person cannot escape the effect of an Exclusion clause by failing to read the contract terms, it may be a defence to show that the propounder of the clause had not taken sufficient trouble to bring it to notice. The case concerns a railway ticket, and an exclusion for liability printed on its back. Mr Parker claimed that he thought the ticket was merely a receipt, not a contractual document. The jury in the original trial found for Mr Parker, on the basis that his reasoning was sound. However, the CPD ordered a re-trial because this wasn't the case in point; the relevant issue was whether SER had taken reasonable steps to indicate that contractual nature of the ticket.
