- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA2799/1985
Promotion to sergeant was not established on the evidence because promotion required exams and competitive selection with no evidence about competitors or likelihood; accordingly future loss must be assessed on the basis the deceased remained a constable. The court selected a multiplier of 17, fixed the free balance at 57.78%, rejected the pension claim as too remote/unpleaded, awarded specified pre-assessment and future loss sums, and ordered interest and costs accordingly.
