Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined an appeal against a High Court order that set aside an award by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, which had held an insurance company liable in a motor accident claim. The Court considered whether the High Court correctly intervened in the tribunal's findings and whether the liability was properly assigned. The judgment emphasizes the importance of respecting tribunal decisions unless there is a legal error or misappreciation of facts. The Court ultimately upheld the tribunal's award and the liability imposed on the insurance company.
