Court accepted plaintiff's expert evidence that a 5%–7% diminution in market value would occur after repair (adopted 6% median), found repaired value (HK$1,048,100) was less than repair cost plus scrap (HK$1,050,000) and thus treating the vehicle as a total loss was reasonable; awarded the pleaded items in full leading to damages of HK$828,748, interest from 13 October 2000, and costs to follow (Order nisi).
