- HCMA348/2020
The appeal is dismissed because the dashcam footage and PW1's evidence established beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant failed to keep a safe distance and drove without due care; the trial judge's credibility findings were supported by the evidence and not plainly wrong; the application to admit fresh evidence was refused as irrelevant and not material to the contested issues.

- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCPI411/2004
On the facts found, the 2nd defendant did not breach the standard of a reasonable driver: his deceleration was fair/medium and not negligent or emergency braking, and there was no evidence of negligent conduct causing the sudden stop; the plaintiff failed to keep a reasonably safe distance and misjudged the intensity of deceleration, therefore liability was not proven and the claim is dismissed.
