Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from M.N. v. Saskatchewan Government Insurance, 2015 SKAIA 9 (CanLII):
In Reavley v. Regina (City) et al., 2000 SKQB 28 (CanLll), affirmed 2001 SKCA 49, plaintiff was injured when the bicycle she was riding was struck by a wheelchair lift [or device] on a moving paratransit bus. She wished to show that she was not subject to the no-fault regime, but could claim a tort remedy, and therefore argued that “automobile in motion” applied only to a vehicle other than the one to which the device was attached. She failed.
