Description
Jockeys held not liable to a fellow rider, when they crossed in front of him in a race and even though they had been found to be guilty of careless riding at a steward's enquiry. The riders' error could not be characterised as anything more than an error of judgment, an oversight or a lapse of which any participant might be guilty in the context of a race of that kind. It was the sort of incident which happened quite often. Confirmation that test for participant to participant liability is negligence rather than reckless disregard.
