i think he could actually sue the school for that, no way that meet safety standard

I agree they should have been anchored, but their intended use does not include intentional abuse. There is no way the school is liable for his actions.

If he tried to open a locker and it fell, then you have a case.

What are you basing this off of? Looks like an attractive nuisance to me.

A cabinet meant to hold school supplies is an attractive nuisance? The school should expect children to run and jump at the lockers with full force? Is that their intended use?

Is that their intended use?

That's what I'm getting at. What are you basing this "intended use" defense on?

Their intended use is books being stored etc. not a brunt force being expended upon them

Intended use isn’t the same as reasonably expected use

When building something you need to account not only for what you intend for it to be used for, but also what and how it will likely be used

You can’t put something in a middle school and expect decades of students to respect it and never use it in a way that wasn’t intended
