The Court held that the 3rd defendant's statutory liability under s.10(1) of the Ordinance is limited to liabilities for bodily injury (per s.6(1)(b)); the sanctioned payment of HK$50,000 into court was accepted and is to be paid out in satisfaction of the entirety of the plaintiff's bodily injury claim against the 3rd defendant only, and does not extinguish or bar plaintiff pursuing property damage claims by way of AOD against the other defendants; consent orders and joinder could not extend the insurer's statutory liability to property damage.
