Jaundice is a common condition caused by a build-up of a yellow pigment called bilirubin in a newborn baby’s blood.

While local councils often reference 20mm to 25mm thresholds in their maintenance policies, UK law provides no fixed legal height for pavement trip hazards, requiring instead a comprehensive assessment of the defect's shape, position, visibility, and the responsible authority's inspection history.
