    GORDON TAYLOR GRAHAM v. P.J. MANSELL
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV17/1976

    With insufficient rental evidence the court substituted loss of use of purchase money (A$10,333.33 = HK$67,164) as the proper yardstick and thereby increased the accommodation head (net increase HK$27,164); it also found a 20% disability to plaintiff's net earnings with a five‑year multiplier yielding HK$40,300 for loss of future earnings after normal retirement age; it allowed HK$2,250 for unpaid education fees and rejected the separate utilities claim for lack of proof.
