Description
Mr. Pittaway QC (sitting as a Judge of the High Court) held that the Defendant lorry driver was not negligent in travelling at excessive speed through a junction, in circumstances where the other Defendant had been held liable for the collision in crossing the said junction through a red light. The fact that the Defendant lorry driver had been travelling at excessive speed was not causative of the accident but rather the speed at which he was driving was simply part of the circumstances in which the collision arose.
