- DCPI2042/2016
The joint medical report of 9 January 2018 established that the plaintiff's frozen shoulders and trigger fingers were unrelated to the accident and, considering the medical opinions and the plaintiff's employment, by that date the plaintiff ought to have known there was no reasonable prospect of recovering net damages near the Small Claims Tribunal ceiling; therefore the court varied the costs order nisi to assess the plaintiff's costs from 9 January 2018 on the Small Claims Tribunal scale and the earlier costs on the District Court scale.
