SRN v Irfan Nekiwala & Anor

Given admitted liability, available expert evidence, and conservative assessment of damages, a reasonable proportion of the likely final judgment after a 50% deduction for contributory negligence is £146,698.32. An interim payment of £60,000 is appropriate, considering uncertainties in medical evidence and immigration status.
