HC Deb 22 February 1940 vol 357 c1569W
Mr. Cassells

asked the Lord Advocate whether he is prepared to consider favourably emergency legislation during the black-out period whereby the onus of proof quoad fault will devolve upon the motorist and not upon the pedestrian as at present?

The Lord Advocate

I have no information which would justify me in recommending the suggested alteration of the common law of Scotland.
