The Defendant was not negligent because she was driving at a reasonable speed within the limit, had no realistic opportunity to avoid the suddenly emerging child who ran into the road a few metres away, and therefore the child's sudden crossing was the sole cause of the accident; consequently the Plaintiff's claim fails and the Defendant's third party claim for contribution/indemnity also fails.
