Hide AdA civil action at Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard that there had been a leak from a flat above the bank premises since February and the bank’s employees had placed a bucket under the area of the leak which was near to where customers queued to be served.
That area was covered in carpet tiles. Five days before the accident, contractors had carried out temporary repairs to try to make the premises safe.
