Defendant caused the collision and is liable. Quantum was assessed by rejecting speculative high profit figures and deriving a realistic multiplicand of HK$76,500 p.a. (15,000 dozen at $30 a dozen, 40% gross, 20% net, then 15% tax deduction), applying a 10-year multiplier. Pain and suffering award was modestly adjusted from Lee Ting Lam to HK$150,000. Aggregate judgment totaled HK$914,344.
