In Goncalves v. John Doe and ICBC, 2010 BCSC 1241, Justice Harris found the plaintiff bus driver had failed to comply with s. 24(5). In that case, the plaintiff was a bus driver employed by a bus company and the bus he was driving was involved in a collision with a driver that left the scene of the accident. The plaintiff reported the accident to his employer, but took no steps to identify the driver of the other vehicle. He did not report the accident to ICBC or to the police. The plaintiff believed his employer would report the accident, but he did not follow up to see if the employer had done so. The plaintiff took no steps - did not post a sign or an advertisement asking for witnesses to come forward. The employer also took no steps to report the accident or identify the hit and run driver.
