Ms Grewal & Anor v Deep Chand Soon & Ors - In the case of Ms Grewal & Anor v Deep
Chand Soon & Ors [2001] L.R.I. 1289 at [14], the court held that "negligence in
common parlance mean and imply failure to exercise due care, expected of a
reasonable prudent person. It is a breach of duty and negligence in law ranging
from inadvertence to shameful disregard of safety of others. ... negligence
represents a state of the mind which however is much serious in nature than mere
inadvertence. ... whereas inadvertence is a milder form of negligence, negligence
by itself means and imply a state of mind where there is no regard for duty or the
supposed care and attention which one ought to bestow.
