The court found the second defendant wholly at fault for negligent reversing without warning or adequate lookout and rejected the plea of contributory negligence. The court also rejected the defendants illegality defence in respect of loss of earnings because of the special circumstances of the Kowloon Walled City and the Governments non-enforcement policy; accordingly the plaintiff was awarded specified general and special damages, interest and costs as detailed in the judgment.
