PERSONAL INJURIES ACTION NO 214 OF 2016

CORRIGENDUM

____________________

Please note the following corrections made by Deputy High Court Judge Saunders to the Judgment dated 18 May 2018:

1.In these personal injury proceedings I found that Mr Prasad had been contributory negligent to the extent of 20%.  In §46 of the judgment I set out the calculation of the pre-trial loss of earnings. 

2.The solicitors for the defendants have drawn my attention to the fact that I have incorrectly deducted an employee’s compensation settlement at that point.  The correct point at which employee’s compensation should be deducted is after the adjustment for contributory negligence.

3.The correct calculation is as follows:

PSLA	$ 150,000
Loss of earnings	$ 1,012,335
Loss of MPF	$ 50,616
Future loss of earnings	$ 2,123,553
Special damages	$ 9,000
Subtotal:	$ 3,345,504
Less 20% contributory	( $ 669,101 )
Less EC settlement	( $ 760,951 )
Net Total Damages:	$ 1,915,452

4.Mr Prasad is entitled to the sum of $1,915,452 by way of total damages.
