Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the conviction for negligent bodily injury was based on a violation of federal law.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The conviction was upheld because the appellate court could find negligence in overtaking too close and too fast, with natural and adequate causation established on the facts binding on the Federal Court.
Extrahierte Begründung
The complaint attacked the facts and evidence, which are not reviewable in a nullity appeal. On the retained facts, failing to keep sufficient lateral distance and to drive cautiously during the overtaking maneuver justified negligence; the injury was a foreseeable result.
