Question
The plaintiff suffered a leg injury in a road traffic accident caused by the defendant’s negligent driving. At a later date, whilst at work, the plaintiff was shot in a robbery and his injured leg had to be amputated. The House of Lords held that the first defendant should continue to be liable for the original injuries to the leg, beyond the time of the second defendant’s intervention. In such situations it would be for the intervening tortfeasor (here the robber) to compensate for any additional losses caused.
Answer
Baker v Willoughby [1970] AC 467
