Thapa Surendra v. E W Cox Hong Kong Ltd and Another

Read the full judgment text of HCPI 451/2009 on BabelCite. This High Court CFI judgment was delivered on 11 July 2011.

1. Since this judgment was handed down it has come to light that the net amount of pre-trial loss of earnings had not been taken into account in the agreed figure for special damages. This has now been agreed by the parties in the sum of $805,987. Accordingly the figure for special damages is now $814,082 (plus interest at the prevailing rate for the relevant period) and the total judgment is $2,840,082, from which the EC payment of $197,481 has to be deducted leaving a net figure of $2,642,601.
