Negligence and Recklessness
Definition of negligence
58. A person causes an event negligently, if without intending to cause the event, he or she causes it by a voluntary act done —
(a) without such skill and caution as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances; or
(b) without such skill and caution as in the particular case he or she is bound by law to exercise for the purpose of preventing the causing of the event.
Negligence where act likely to cause unjustifiable event
59. Where an act is such that, notwithstanding the exercise of skill and caution, it is likely to cause an event which there is no justification for causing, the act (if not done with intent to cause that event), is negligently done with reference to causing that event, even though it is done with skill and caution.
