Plaintiff's injuries amount to a Serious Injury; PSLA awarded at HK$580,000. Pre-trial loss of earnings denied because plaintiff was not lawfully employable while on recognizance and therefore lacked the prerequisite for compensation under s10 ECA and the same principle applies at common law. Credit of HK$120,960 for Employees' Compensation payable is deducted, leaving total damages HK$459,040 plus interest and costs as ordered.
