The Takamatsu High Court on Wednesday ordered a high school and an athletic association to pay some ¥300 million in compensation to a man left blind and paralyzed after lightning struck him during a high school soccer match in 1996.
The court said the accident would have been avoided if a teacher who had led the plaintiff's team requested that the match in Takatsuki, Osaka Prefecture, be postponed.
A lightning advisory had been issued for the area as a typhoon was approaching.
