A SIX-DAY hearing has been set for a civil case in relation to the Glasgow bin lorry crash. Glasgow City Council is suing First Bus, the former employers of the bin lorry driver Harry Clarke, over the job reference the firm provided. Clarke collapsed while at the wheel of a bin lorry in the city centre in December 2014. The vehicle crashed into pedestrians and killed six people. During an initial hearing at the Court of Session in Edinburgh yesterday, Roddy Dunlop QC, representing First Bus, told the court he would not focus heavily on the issue of automatism. He added: “My point is a simpler one and it’s this – the pursuers must prove the reasonableness of the settlement and the defenders are entitled to test the evidence in that regard.
