British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dominelli v. Saanich (District), 2005 BCSC 1455 (CanLII):
Sixth, Stynes v. Victoria (City).[7] The premises in question in this case were tennis courts occupied by the City of Victoria. The offending tennis court (which was one of five) was found to have two attributes which constituted an unusual danger, rendering the court not reasonably safe. The first was the existence of a six to seven inch curb at the end of the playing surface. The second was the reduced width of the end space on the tennis court. The normal dimension for end spaces was said to be twenty to twenty-two feet. The offending court was fourteen feet, eight inches.
