JimmyB Posted May 17, 2007 Share If he lives in Bakoven he probably needs the cash badly. Maybe pay towards the monthly mortgage. People like this shouldn't be cycling. This guy needs a RFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MintSauce Posted May 17, 2007 Share Dosntthe little paper we sign when we do races/ join ppa say we cant take legal action any damages or losses that happen during races I've been told by a lawyer that these indemnities we sign really mean nothing if you can prove gross negligence on another rider or the oganiser's side. Same as the "At your own risk" signs you see anywhere really. If someone does something really k@k stupid or reckless and causes you personal injury or loss, you can sue them irrespective of these notices.

Jules Posted May 17, 2007 Share A summons is a public document, which can be accessed by anyone who has the patience to wait in a long queue at the High Court. I say scan the summons and post it on the hub so we can all have a good laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted May 17, 2007 Share Do how do you prove gross negligence in the middle of a race from 2 years ago??? He's got two chances: no chance and F@#$-all chance. No doubt his lawyer (a paragon of objectivity) has told him he has a very good chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nix M2 Posted May 17, 2007 Share our friend fell after the bunch slowed down and his front wheel got crossed by the guy in front. He fell over into the oncoming traffic , which is where this guy hit him coming down at speed .. our friend lost part of his ear in the crash.. there are many witnesses to this !<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nix M2 Posted May 17, 2007 Share The total amount being sued for is R250 000... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trispoke Posted May 17, 2007 Share Nice. So if the guy is to have any case whatsoever, falling into oncoming traffic must have been either gross negligence or intentional on the part of your mate... Interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintSauce Posted May 17, 2007 Share I wouldn't lose much sleep over this if I were your friend What a waste of time for all concerned if this does end up in court though.....I can't see it going anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
