A driver, whose vehicle had struck a child pedestrian, had been negligent by not having seen the child on the kerb and/or crossing the road, and/or by not slowing down, and/or by not sounding his horn. However, the child should have realised the need to look out carefully for traffic coming from his right on a busy road and his contributory negligence was assessed at 20 per cent.
