John, an intelligent thirteen-year old learner and a prefect at his school, plays an informal game of cricket with his friends on the playground of the school. Because a bazaar is in progress to raise funds for an expansion project of the school, motor cars are parked on the playground. John hits the ball very hard and it causes damage to a very exclusive and very expensive sports car. Was John negligent? Discuss with reference to case law. (Course hero tutor)
