On the balance of probabilities plaintiffs failed to prove defendants were negligent; contemporaneous police investigation, scene evidence and chemical analysis established the deceased was intoxicated, riding a high-powered motorcycle without a valid licence and not wearing a helmet, and the physical evidence showed impact consistent with the motorcycle entering the lorrys path; loss of dependency was not proved by cogent evidence; accordingly claim dismissed but limited special damages under s7(3) allowed based on proved receipts.
