    Citation
    AGACER JAMES C v. ARNOLD ARTHUR JOHN
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCPI518/2012

    The court accepted that the 1st incident caused the plaintiff’s PTSD and physical injuries; the plaintiff’s pre-existing psychiatric condition did not negate liability or warrant reduction because it had been controlled and would not in itself have produced the PTSD; the April 2010 second assault contributed to deterioration so damages were apportioned between the two incidents; specific awards were quantified accordingly and interest and costs were ordered nisi.
