A Eurostar passenger stuck on a train for five hours during the series of breakdowns before Christmas is suing the company for compensation for "false imprisonment".
I suspect that like a prisoner lawfully confined, this chap will have difficulty claiming false imprisonment. This requires a deliberate intention to prevent someone from having freedom of movement. Rather, what he is claiming is that the conditions he underwent are totally unacceptable. They are. Unless his claim also extends to negligence, I feel that he is on to a loser with this one.
