Can an amnesia person still be held to be liable?

Feb 14th, 2008, 10:50 AM

There is an accident occured not a while ago. One of the results damage of this accident is the defendant loss his memory and no recollection of whatsoever happened in the accident. In this case, can the plaintiff still sue the defendant under the tort law? and can the defendant be exempted because of his condition? can anyone please answer it using UK's statutory laws? thank you
