CaseChat Overview and Summary

Saffigna was the driver of a small pantech truck that collided with Little's motorbike. Little sued Saffigna for damages. The tribunal found Saffigna liable for the damage to Little's motorbike and safety clothing, but did not find that the truck was damaged. Saffigna sought leave to appeal the decision. The nature of the dispute was the tribunal's findings of fact, particularly the lack of evidence of damage to the truck and Saffigna's liability for the damages.

The court concluded that there were no grounds for a grant of leave and dismissed the application.
