Reminder Invitation to LSLC event- The Crossing and Head-on Rules – 22nd May 2025 – IDRC

Introduction
In The Ever Smart, the Supreme Court construed the Collision Regulations and said the crossing rules were to be strictly applied. However, in subsequent decisions that strict approach has already been tested. This seminar will consider those decisions.

Specific issues for discussion:  

  • Departing from the strict approach: “compelling necessity”, and to what extent can the crossing rules be “moulded” by circumstances?
