14 :32:12 PPSysB Pag Table: STATIN Unit: PAG1 (5) For the purposes of a defence under paragraph (4), the court shall in particular have regard to the following matters (a) the character of the street including its use for a tramway, and the trayc which was reasonably to be expected to use it; (b) the standard of maintenance appropriate for a street of that character and used by such trayc; (c) the state of repair in which a reasonable person would have expected to find the street; (d) whether the promoter knew, or could reasonably have been expected to know, that the condition of the part of the street to which the action relates was likely to cause danger to users of the street; and (e) where the promoter could not reasonably have been expected to repair that part of the street before the cause of action arose, what warning notices of its condition had been displayed, but for the purposes of such a defence it is not relevant that the promoter had arranged for a competent person to carry out or supervise the maintenance of that part of the street to which the action relates unless it is also proved that the promoter had given the competent person proper instructions with regard to the maintenance of the street and that the competent person had carried out those instructions. Construction of bridges and tunnels 15.
