Nguyen v Savage

The appeal concerned a motor vehicle accident at a controlled intersection. The appellant, Mr. Nguyen, sought to appeal a decision made by a trial judge. The respondent was Mr. Savage.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the trial judge was entitled to make the findings of fact that they did regarding the circumstances of the accident. This involved a review of the evidence presented at trial and the application of principles governing appellate review of findings of fact.

The Court of Appeal found no error in the trial judge's findings. The judges were satisfied that the trial judge had properly considered the evidence and applied the relevant legal principles in reaching their conclusion. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.
