Applying Wong Sai-chuen and related authority the court held that LARCO benefits would exceed any FAO award to the same beneficiaries and therefore no separate FAO award was made; LARCO was calculated by determining the deceased's net income, deducting personal maintenance to find the free balance ($850), adjusting for inflation to $1,105, applying a multiplier of 15 and annualizing to produce $198,900; awarded $15,000 for loss of expectation of life and specified special damages with interest at specified rates.
