CORRIGENDUM

________________

Please note that paragraph 47 should be replaced with the following:-

47.The P is 38 and otherwise fit and I find it is likely he will continue to work past the age of 60.  Having considered the comparable cases referred to by both counsel I adopt a multiplier of 13.  The adjusted multiplicand is HK$25,200.00 (HK$2000.00 x 12 x1.05).   Using a multiplier of 13, the future loss of earnings and provident fund is assessed at HK$327,600.00 (HK$25,200.00 x 13)

The Summary of Quantum on page 15 of the judgment under the Future loss of earnings and Provident Fund should also be replaced with the amount of HK$327,600.00 accordingly.

Dated this 10^th day of January 2005.
