That is so wrong and doesn't make legal sense.
GF works in insurance and the proximate cause is the user of the morrisons' scooter, not the 61 year old. If she was dealing with the claim she'd have gone after morrisons.
I would suspect the injured employee has gotten a no win no fee solicitor, and there's more chance of getting a win by taking the little old lady to court than morrisons.
The court should still not have found her liable, unless there is some genuine reason, which we can't think of and isn't reported, which would make her liable.
If only she'd persued scooter insurance fully, or taken out legal insurance with her home insurance, or public liability on her home insurance.
chances are she may have the last two but isn't aware of it.
