With four decorative cushions in her hand, on her way to the exit, a customer trips over a pallet truck in the Gorcum home furnishings store Kwantum. The woman ends up in the hospital with a broken elbow. She holds the store liable and takes Kwantum to court. But things turn out differently than she expected.
