個案：This case concerns the plaintiff’s claim for damages for personal injuries suffered as a result of a traffic accident which happened at around 9:00 am on 19 January 2011, when the defendant was driving his private vehicle HP 3173 (“the Vehicle”) from Hong Keung Street towards Shung Ling Street and collided with the plaintiff, who was crossing Hong Keung Street in front of the Vehicle from the defendant’s left to right (“the Accident”).
On 27 April 2011, the defendant was convicted of the offence of careless driving upon a guilty plea at the Kowloon City Magistracy in relation to the Accident.
In paragraph 2 of the defendant’s Written Opening dated 22 July 2014, the defendant made clear that liability would be contested only to the extent that the plaintiff should bear half of the blame for the Accident – ie 50% contributory negligence.
In other words, primary negligence on the part of the defendant is conceded but the plaintiff should bear half of the blame for the way she crossed the road.
The Court held that the plaintiff should not bear any responsibility for the Accident and there was no contributory negligence on her part.
