Mr Stewart sustained a serious brain injury when he, a pedestrian, was struck in the early hours of the morning by a motor vehicle driven by Mr Glaze. The evidence was that Mr Stewart was sitting at a bus stop with his friend. They had been out for the evening and Mr Stewart was drunk. His friend gave evidence that, inexplicably, Mr Stewart got up and ran into the road. Liability was tried as a preliminary issue.
The issues were whether Mr Glaze was negligent in either failing to stop (and thus avoid the accident in full) or failing to slow down such that the injuries would have been less serious.
