The appellant pedestrian was struck by a bus making a left turn while she was crossing the street with the light.
At trial, the jury found the respondent driver was not negligent and found the appellant contributorily negligent.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal held that the jury's finding regarding the driver's lack of negligence was perverse, as he had a duty to yield.
However, the majority found there was some basis for the jury's finding of contributory negligence.
A new trial was ordered on the issues of contributory negligence and damages, as the damage assessment was tainted by the perverse liability finding and improper evidence regarding collateral benefits.
