Another defence used on occasion is that of abnormal use. In Rae v. T. Eaton (Maritimes) Ltd., the manufacturer was absolved of liability for an injury to a child's eye when a can of artificial snow exploded while being banged on concrete, since "in its normal use, or in reasonably foreseeable use, (it) was harmless." It might be otherwise, said the court, if the can fell off a Christmas tree or was dropped from arm's height or from a shelf because this might be expected. 1, record 2, English, - abnormal%20use

Un autre moyen de défense invoqué à l'occasion est celui fondé sur une utilisation anormale de l'objet. Dans l'affaire Rae v. T. Eaton Co.(Maritimes) Ltd., le tribunal n’ a pas retenu la responsabilité du fabricant pour la blessure subie à l'œil par un enfant lorsqu'une bombe de neige a explosé après avoir été frappée contre du béton. L'on a dit que le produit «était inoffensif s’il était utilisé normalement ou d’une façon raisonnablement prévisible». Il aurait pu en être autrement si le contenant était tombé d’un arbre de Noël ou d’une tablette, ou si on l'avait échappé, parce qu'il s’agit là de cas prévisibles. 2, record 2, French, - emploi%20abusif

c) Abnormal sensitivity / If the plaintiff's use of his property or his own physical or mental make-up is abnormally sensitive, he may be denied recovery for nuisance. This follows because the standard employed in determining whether the defendant's activity is an unreasonable interference is an objective one. Thus the defendant need govern his conduct only with reference to the reactions of normal persons in the particular locality and not with reference to the idiosyncracies of any particular plaintiff. 1, record 6, English, - abnormal%20sensitivity

c) Sensibilité anormale/Si l'utilisation de la propriété ou les dispositions physiques ou mentales du demandeur sont d’une sensibilité anormale, il peut se voir refuser tout redressement pour nuisance. Il en est ainsi parce que la norme applicable pour déterminer si une activité du défendeur constitue un trouble déraisonnable est une conduite par rapport aux réactions de personnes normales dans la localité en cause et non par rapport aux particularités d’un demandeur donné. 2, record 6, French, - sensibilit%C3%A9%20anormale
