An Australian court awarded $1.2 million to a now 21-year-old student who was violently attacked by 12 classmates at Fairvale High School in 2017. The court found the school breached its duty of care by failing to monitor students and provide a safe environment after hours. The victim, who suffered serious physical and psychological injuries, sued New South Wales for negligence, leading to the substantial compensation award.
