The quirks of law

Wang Xiuzhi, a senior citizen, sued Xu Yunhe for knocking her down with his car in Tianjin in October in 2009. A court recently ordered Xu to pay Wang 108,000 yuan ($16,900) in damages. But Xu insists that he has been wronged and will appeal to a higher court against the ruling. Many other people, too, think Wang has twisted facts to frame Xu, says an article on dayoo.com. Excerpts:

It is hard to determine what really happened on that fateful day in Tianjin because of lack of a witness or close circuit TV recording. Wang reportedly was trying to cross a road in Tianjin where no pedestrian was supposed to and "collapsed".
