- DCPI1054/2016
Liability was admitted; contemporaneous medical records and the joint expert report established a coccygeal fracture that healed by early 2014 and that residual symptoms were at most mild; positive Waddell signs and inconsistencies in the plaintiff’s account justified discounting claimed severity and duration; accordingly awards were limited to PSLA HK$150,000, pre-trial loss for 52 days (HK$19,365.23), special damages HK$12,000; no award for future loss of earning capacity; interest and costs ordered as specified.
