Additional Notes

Case Howard v Lyndon [2023] WADC 99. The District Court of Western Australia awarded compensation to a motorcyclist injured in a collision with a ute. The motorcyclist was riding a stolen, unregistered bike at excessive speed. The court found the ute driver negligent for failing to keep a proper lookout. The motorcyclist's claim was reduced by 30% due to contributory negligence (excessive speed). The defense arguing the motorcyclist knew the bike was stolen failed.
