    HCMP249/2009

    The application for leave to appeal was refused because the driver was driving within the speed limit, it was not reasonable to expect the driver to anticipate a pedestrian emerging from behind a stationary bus and reduce speed to an impracticably low level, and the accident was caused entirely by the plaintiff's negligence, so the appeal had no realistic prospect of success.
