Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that in the absence of proof of negligence by the driver of the offending vehicle, the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal was justified in denying compensation to the appellant. The Court emphasized that mere oral statements regarding witness lists were insufficient, as the High Court found no basis for the claim in the appeal memo. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings on negligence.
