John was driving along Sutcliffe Road in Takapuna on Auckland's North Shore. He was distracted by the sight of a shop he had been looking for and crashed into the back of Mary's car. They exchanged information and John, who was driving his first car, explained that he had not yet arranged motor vehicle insurance but would pay for the damage out of his own pocket. Neither John nor Mary were hurt but the damage to the cars would likely cost a few thousand dollars. Mary said that was fine but John should know that she was carrying a very expensive vase in her boot and that would cost $15000 to replace. John is not sure if he should have to pay for the broken vase and comes to you for advice. Explain whether the New Zealand law of negligence would require John to pay for the broken vase. Give reasons for your answer and apply relevant cases.
