The
Government
argued
that
,
in
order
to
benefit
from
Chapter
2
,
section
1
,
of
the
Tort
Liability
Act
,
the
applicant
should
have
claimed
“
that
he
had
caused
her
personal
injury
by
acting
negligently
in
respect
of
her
”
(
Government
observations
to
the
Grand
Chamber
,
paragraph
35
)
.
This
interpretation
of
the
said
provision
sounds
very
abstruse
,
for
two
reasons
.
Firstly
,
the
said
provision
encompasses
literally
wilful
(
or
deliberate
)
and
negligent
injuries
.
Secondly
,
the
applicant
’s
stepfather
acted
wilfully
and
not
negligently
.
