liability for injury in kids' training - 10/12/09 01:38 PM

It was ruled that under the Infants Act of B.C., a parent cannot sign away a child's right to sue for negligence.
What is the situation in your region? How can kids be protected against negligent instruction while at the same time good instructors be protected against trivial litigation that can put them out of business?
