    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCPI155/2005

    The action was dismissed because the court found CSD had exercised reasonable supervision (CCTV and staff presence), the Plaintiff had impliedly accepted the risks of bodily contact in a sporting contest, the Plaintiff failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that CSD caused the collision due to lack of evidence identifying the cause, and credible evidence established that medical treatment had been provided.
