Snow fall leads to criminal charge - The Local: A Bavarian man who got his grandmother to clear the snow outside his house faced charges of causing actual bodily harm through negligence after a woman fell on ice.
Half of Germany has been waking up this week to the sound of scraping and brushing as landlords and house-owners arise before dawn to clear the pavements of snow.
Poorly cleared snowy pavements often lead to accidents - and a hefty bill for compensation for the house owner, whose legal duty it is to clear a walkway - but charges are rare, the Süddeutsche Zeitung said on Tuesday.
