So if the fixing involves a few hours or days - who is going to pay you for being such a good samartian?Nothing is legally bullet-proof. And I never claimed it to be.
Truth be known, any lawyer worth his/her salt would sue you just because you knew about the problem.
Here ya go:
Now everyone on this forum is legally liable because they didn't do what a professional electrician is required to do.............fix it and make it safe!
