Good Samaritan Must Pick Up The Tab

A Good Samaritan drove a sick woman to hospital in Germany - only to be landed with a £6,000 bill for her treatment.



Resul Mor, 39, was flagged down driving home from work by a man who asked him to take his desperately ill wife to casualty in Hamburg.

But when her treatment had finished two weeks later hospital administrators sent baffled Resul the bill.

Casualty staff had asked him to sign a registration form for the patient on her arrival - but he didn't realise it committed him to settling any fees she couldn't pay.

Judges this week ruled that Resul was legally liable and must pay the bill.

"I didn't expect her to not pay anything. I'm just an ordinary man who did someone a favour," he said.
