1. On 5 October 1993, the first defendant (Mr Wai) was driving a Toyota Hi-Ace van along Cheung Sha Wan Road when the nearside rear wheel came off and struck the plaintiff. A few hours before the accident, Mr Wai had taken his van to the defendants' tyre shop. He was accompanied by a friend with a van of the same make and model as that of Mr Wai. Mr Wai asked Mr Tam Hau Ho (Mr Tam), one of the second defendants, to exchange the wheels on the two vans. Mr Tam did so.
