Rodgers v Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (7392/16) [2018] ZAGPPHC 265 (12 January 2018)
The court found that the defendant failed to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of passengers by allowing the train to operate with open doors while overloaded. The evidence of the plaintiff was accepted, as the defendant did not call the train guard, who was the crucial witness regarding the condition of the doors. The defendant's failure to close the doors exposed passengers to foreseeable danger, and the plaintiff's conduct did not amount to contributory negligence. The defendant is therefore liable for 100% of the plaintiff's proven damages.
