1. This is a case about a horse. Its name was 'Harbour Master'. In May 1998 it was injured during a race at Shatin Racecourse and had to be put down. No jockey, spectator or other horse was injured. The owner of the horse, the nominal plaintiff, Mr Dickson Poon, subsequently recovered the insured value of the animal from his insurance company. That company, duly subrogated to the rights of its assured, now seeks to recover damages for the loss.
