In Dunn v. H. M. Advocate (1961 S.L.T. 106) the High Court of Justiciary held that the burden of proof on the Crown in a charge under s. (i) of the Road Traffic Act, 1960, is not so exacting as that in a charge of culpable homicide against a motorist where the prosecutor has to establish gross, wicked or criminal negligence amounting to or analogous to a criminal indifference to the consequences of dangerous driving. L,ibel and Slander — damages — reputation prior to the publication. In Dingle v. Associated Newspapers (February 8, 1961) the trial judge awarded the Town Clerk of Manchester £1,100 damages for libel ((1960 i C.L. 169). On appeal by the Town Clerk against that award, the Court of Appeal (Sellers, Pearce and Devlin L.JJ.) held, allowing the appeal and increasing the award to £4,000, that the trial judge had failed in the assessment of damages to take into account that part of the innuendo which alleged that the plaintiff had committed a criminal offence, that he had concluded that the period of damage was much less than it was, and that he had assessed damages on the basis that the Town Clerk had a bad reputation prior to the publication complained of.

Expert evidence showed that possible damage might be looked for by 1962. The Court of Appeal (Lord. Evershed M.R., Upjohn and Pearson L.JJ.) held, dismissing an appeal from Lloyd-Jacob J. ((1960) 10 C.L. 195), that the test of such an action depended on the imminence of the apprehended danger, and that, on the evidence, there was no such imminence (D.C.)
