Can't tell you about the UK but in the US - and I'm a liability investigator - the person who backed out in the car is totally at fault. The circumstances don't matter - you cannot back into someone.

Yes, I can also tell you from US law. The person who is driving a moving vechile that hits a parked car will always be at fault.

I'll add my 2 cents since I think the rule applies in most countries. If a moving vehicle hits a parked or stationary obstacle, the moving vehicle is 100% at fault. It's the responsibility of the driver to make sure there are no obstructions in their way.

Thanks guys for the advice I be getting back to you with how it goes cheers!:)
