SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE CIVil SUIT NO. 49ft OF 2001 BETWEEN: NATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK lTD Claimant and CUTHBERT SAMUEL ET Al Defendants Appearances: Mr. Samuel Commissiong for Claimant Mr. Stanley K. John for Defendants 2002: September 23 JUDGMENT
[1]ALLEYNE, J: I believe the witnesses for the Claimant. and reject the evidence of Jaimason Samuel that he was at a standstill at the time of the collision. This is clear from the evidence that the claimant's vehicle was damaged on the right front and rear doors. It is clear to me that the Claimant's vehicle had entered fully into Middle Street, and I accept that the defendant's vehicle reversed into the right side of the Claimant's vehicle. The fact that the driver Jaimason Samuel did not see the Claimant's vehicle although it was clearly in the path in which he was travelling leaves no doubt in my mind that he was negligent.
[2]Judgment for the claimant for damages to be assessed and for costs.
