The empirical research done by this paper shows that there is a big confusion in the application of law when adjudicating the highway trespass of pedestrians who have suffered damages by vehicles of third-party. Some decisions were based on Article 123 of the Civil Law; some were based on Article 37 or Article 76 of the Tort Liability Act; while other were based on Article 9 of Judicial Interpretation of Traffic Accident Damages. There is a lack of unified practice. Highways will be considered as highly hazardous areas only when there is a highway trespass of pedestrians. Highway operators will bear liability based on an aggravated presumption of fault. This paper holds a view that, in such accidents, the highway operators and the third party perpetrators should bear proportionate responsibility, non-true joint and several liability or supplementary liability according to their respective fault or by taking into account the ability of the third party perpetrators to compensate. |
