The living room where these gyrations were encouraged by the playing of loud "rock" music and the provision of alcoholic beverages and "fairy cakes" was not licensed for such activities and had not been visited by European Union Gyration Officers (EUGOs) prior to the event.
The establishment was not in possession of a current EUGO certificate stating that the inclination of the floor was within acceptable limits for activities other than watching the TV, knitting and Ludo.
	There was no prior EUGO inspection of footwear nor feet to determine their suitability for excessive movement, no EUGO notices (of minimum EU-approved dimensions) advising of the health issues associated with "pogoing" and no EUGO enforced maximum duration of activity before persons were required to sit down, meditate and restore their sense of balance.

On this occasion Basenotes is disinclined to pursue the matter in Court since the quickly negotiated out-of-court settlement of additional lager was deemed adequate compensation given the circumstances.
