The appellants, the City of Ottawa and a city bus driver, appealed a trial judgment finding them 20% liable for a fatal intersection collision.
The bus driver, travelling on a green light, collided with a vehicle that entered the intersection on a red light.
The trial judge found the bus driver negligent for speeding and momentary inattention, concluding the accident could have been avoided had he driven at the speed limit.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's articulation of the standard of care or her causation analysis.
The appeal regarding the trial judge's costs award was also dismissed.
