A 15-year-old boy in Germany is suing a classmate for a school prank that left the boy in hospital for three days.

According to Die Welt, the boy from Hanover is seeking €1,400 in compensation after his classmate pulled a chair from beneath him as he was about to sit down.

The boy is a haemophiliac and, according to the law suit, fell on to his coccyx and hit his head on the floor.

He then spent three days in hospital as he was reportedly unable to stand the pain, and missed a planned Easter holiday afterwards because he was laid up in bed.

A spokesperson for the Federal Court told the Local that civil suits that deal with accidents on school grounds are only likely to succeed for the claimant if they can prove pre-meditation.
