The accident caused the plaintiff's physical injuries and was a materially contributing cause of her psychiatric illness; the question of promotion and contract renewal depended on the hypothetical actions of a third party (the Commissioner) so the plaintiff need only show a substantial chance that promotion and renewal would have occurred. The court found a 70% chance and applied a 30% discount to lost‑chance heads, awarding judgment for the plaintiff in the aggregate sum of HKD 3,680,319.37, together with specified interest and costs nisi.
