Liability was established by default; the uncontested medical and witness evidence established catastrophic permanent brain injury with reduced life expectancy, justifying awards across heads. Applying Chan Tables 2013 (multipliers 14 for future earnings and 19 for future care/expenses), the court awarded aggregate damages of HK$5,583,109 and ordered interest and costs as specified.
