On the facts the court found the van driver (2nd Defendant) solely negligent; the registered owner (3rd Defendant) was the actual owner who authorised use through agent/supervisor (Mr. Yip) and acquiesced in permissive use by the 2nd Defendant, therefore vicarious liability attached to the 3rd Defendant (and judgment was entered against the 1st Defendant ex parte); claims against the bus owner/driver (4th and 5th Defendants) were dismissed; damages awarded based on proven injuries and objective evidence.
