Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Compensation Bill [HL].
Compensation Bill [HL]
Causation is of course a different matter. If someone was driving or doing something negligently, but that had no connection whatever with the accident, of course that is an entirely different matter; but where that is part of the causation there cannot be 100 per cent contributory negligence from the other party. Certainly if that were decided it would be a very strange decision.
