The High Court found the Majistret erred in allocating 100% liability to the defendant; on appellate review the court apportioned liability 60% to the defendant (Perayu Pertama) and 40% contributory negligence to the plaintiff (Responden); upheld general damages awarded (RM26,000) but held only medical expenses actually paid by the plaintiff (RM1,043.25) constitute recoverable special damages, deducting insurer-paid amounts (RM19,178.70); awarded costs RM3,000 in favour of the appellants, subject to taxation.
