The High Court dismissed an appeal over compensation from a fatal road accident, holding that economic damages had to be calculated on the SMIG rate because actual income was not proven.
The incident was not a road traffic accident but a general accident caused by misuse of vehicle equipment while stationary; the employer (Bugingo Bashir) is vicariously liable for the employee's actions performed in the course of employment; damages were properly awarded at the court's discretion as no statutory formula applies; the appeal lacks merit and is dismissed.
