Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant unlawfully and negligently violated traffic rules by parking outside marked spaces
Decisione estratta
He negligently violated Art. 27(1) SVG because the parking-space markings were visible toward the road and had to be obeyed with minimal attention.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court was bound by the lower court's factual findings. Even if snow was present on the sidewalk side, the markings toward the roadway were fully visible, so any alleged mistake did not excuse the violation.
