FINAL JUDGEMENT

GERADA JOHN vs MARSALITE LIMITED - 2036/1995/1 - TA' L-APPELLI CIVILI (SUPERJURI), MALTA

DANNI, RESPONSABILITA` TAL-IMPJEGAT - DANNI, SAFE SYSTEM OF WORK

Il-garr ta' passiggieri flimkien mal-merkanzija go kaxxa ta' van, tipprezenta periklu ovvju inerenti. Sistema ta' trasport bhal dan mhix accettabbli, ghax din tmur kontra d-dover ta' min ihaddem li jiehu "all practicable steps to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety and welfare at work of all his empoloyees", kif jesigi s-subartikolu 1 tar-regolament 49 ta' l-Avviz Legali 52 tal-1983.

Hawnhekk il-Qorti qieset li l-attur u s-socjeta` konvenuta (employer ta'l-attur) kienu responsabbli fi kwoti ndaqs ghal incident li garrab l-attur fuq il-post tax-xoghol. Il-konvenuta ghax naqset milli tassigura "health and safety and welfare at work" u l-attur ghaliex bhala persuna tas-sengha inkarigat mill-irbit ta' merkanzija li waqghet fuqu ma kienx ezercita d-diligenza mehtiega fl-irbit ta' l-istess.
