Nov 2012, John Williamson remarked:

Clearing snow can leave you responsible for the consequences if you
do it and don't leave a safe surface.

Not since the "Snow Code" was introduced two years ago.

The Snow Code is not statute law, and it is not common law either. It is
advice to the public by an official body, that is all. The law has not
changed in any way because of it,

Because the "law" preventing people clearing snow never actually existed
in the first place. That's the point.

The Snow Code even states that you can
be held responsible for the consequences if you do not do a good enough
job,

No it doesn't.

Bus drivers can be held responsible if they deliberately run someone
over. Does that mean that bus drivers shouldn't ever drive buses?
