The Court upheld the trial judge's factual finding that the defendant failed to keep a proper lookout (25% liability). The Court departed from the conventional multiplier approach in Chan Pui Ki on the facts and expert economic evidence, adopting an actuarial-based multiplier derived from a 1% discount rate (Table 11) of 9.13 for a 60‑year‑old with 10 years' work life, increasing future loss to HKD 1,765,433; cross‑appeal allowed; appeal dismissed.
