Supreme Court
Action No. 116 of 1982
17th November, 1982
Alcantara, J.

Mr. Dean Barrow for the Plaintiff
Mr. Edwin Flowers for the Defendant

Damages - Accident - Collision - Counterclaim - Judgment for Plaintiff - Costs - Counterclaim dismissed.


J U D G M E N T

I will not attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable, that is, evidence of the Plaintiff with that of the Defendant or vice-versa. I have before me two completely different versions of how the collision took place. The issue before me is simple. Who do I believe?

After having heard and seen the witnesses I accept the evidence of the Plaintiff in preference to that of the Defendant. The Defendant has brought a witness, who I have no hesitation in saying that he is not a witness of truth.

The evidence of the Plaintiff is corroborated by his action in reporting the matter to the police and claiming from Defendant soon after accident.

Judgment for the Plaintiff in the sum of $2,925.00 and costs.

Counterclaim dismissed.
