Which is the Applicable Law in Recovery of Losses from an Uninsured Driver? Moreno v The Motor Insurers’ Bureau [2016] UKSC 52

Moreno, a UK national, was on holiday in Greece in May 2011 when she was struck by a car whilst walking along a road and suffered serious injury. The car was registered in Greece, however the driver, who was at fault, had no driving licence and was uninsured. The issue for the courts to determine was whether the award of compensation was to be made subject to the law of Greece (where the accident occurred), or the law of England and Wales, where the injured party submitted her claim for compensation.
